VIDEO: Short guys less likely to get divorced?
Study: A man's height may determine the success of his marriage.

A new study out says a man's height may determine the success of his marriage.

The taller the man, the more likely he is to get divorced. This according to researchers at NYU.

The study looked at thousands of families over a span of more than two decades. And they found that men who were classified as "short" were more likely to get married later in life, but were 32 percent less likely to divorce.

The exact reason isn't clear, but the researchers believe short men might try to compensate for their height in other aspects of the relationship, like income, and housework.
