Research suggests that we view our loved ones through rose-tinted glasses that overlook the physical attributes that might put others off. As a result, husbands and wives think their other halves are more attractive than they really are. This "positive illusion" theory comes from researchers who asked 70 couples to rate their other halves for attractiveness. Questions included how attractive they thought their partner was to members of the opposite sex, and how attractive they thought their partner was compared to other people of the same sex and the same age. In addition, members of the public judged the looks of all 140 men and women taking part. The results, reported in The Journal of Social and Personal Relationships, revealed that couples rated the physical appeal of their own partners higher than that of strangers. Even asking them to rate pictures of their partners did not give them a reality check. Which of the following best summarizes the main idea of the passage?

A. Appearance enhances happiness.

B. Romance reduces marriage stability.

C. Love is blind for a good reason.

D. Attractiveness comes with age.
