Researchers examined the relationship between marriage and happiness and revealed that marriage does not make people happier or healthier. It was stated that single people are as happy as, or even happier than, married couples. The research conducted shows that marriage does not make people happier or healthier.
Researchers from the University of California stated that there is very little evidence that marriage increases well-being in the long term. Dr. Bella DePaulo, who led the research, noted that claims that marriage is positive for health and well-being frequently appear in the media and scientific journals, but that these claims often misrepresent or exaggerate the results of studies.
DePaulo stated that the studies conducted addressed issues such as suicide, depression, loneliness, physical health, and happiness, and showed that people who remain single generally have similar outcomes to those who are married. She also emphasized that there is very little evidence that getting married provides a lasting improvement in health or well-being. These findings cause us to question the relationship between marriage and happiness and help us better understand what the happiness or health expected from marriage is actually like.
