Marriage and Creativity

Karen Lorenz of MSN.com reports that while marriage is good for careers, mental health, and longevity, marriage diminishes creativity according to a study of 280 successful scientists.


"Myth: Married People are More Creative A study of 280 successful scientists found that their creativity tended to diminish once they got married. This also held true for musicians, painters and authors. "


I remember hearing about this study on National Public Radio. The notes are probably scribbled on a small slip of paper somewhere in my studio. I remember the discussion about scientists, but do not remember the discussion including other creative people. Please write me if you have information. Let's get the truth about this myth.
