HuffPost Live Discusses Why Same-Sex Couples Have Happier Marriages (VIDEO)

WATCH: Why Same-Sex Couples Have Happier Marriages

A National Institutes of Health study suggests that married same-sex couples are, in fact, happier than their non-same sex counterparts.

In order to better understand this, HuffPost Live hosted a segment that explored the differing dynamics of same-sex and non-same sex married couples. Additionally, HuffPost Live brought on a woman in a same-sex marriage, Kathryn Hamm, to hear her personal experience surrounding her partnership.

"In my experience, same-sex couples have many challenges but we do get some short-cuts because we have a lot more freedom to come at, say, approaching a household problem," Hamm told HuffPost Live. "We aren't as confined by gender roles. So that's been our experience in the household but I would also say that we have tended to find a way around household roles based on who works more outside the home, who has more flexibility at any given time."
