The research, which was conducted by New York University and published in the March edition of Prevention Science, looked at almost 400 couples and discovered it was the 30-month mark when couples no longer felt as much passion for the relationship.
In fact, 10% of women said they were "extremely unhappy", while 14% of men said the same, but those who were able to continue to keep the 'honeymoon period' alive in their relationship, appeared to be happier with their other half from the very beginning.
Dr Michael Lorber led the study, and speaking to the Huffington Post, he said that people could struggle to fit into their new role as a husband or wife, with depression or aggression common factors for the 'honeymoon' period cooling off.
He explained that recognising such signs early in a relationship could help stop it from breaking down. He is quoted as saying: "We can make some predictions about which highly satisfied newlyweds or soon-to-be newlyweds may not stay that way, and then try to help those people.
"It might be easier to do some relatively 'light touch' interventions early on than to do intensive marital therapy after things have already soured."
