Why Married couples are happier than single people-New Study

Married couples are happier than single people, especially those who say they married their best friend, says a new study.

Married couples enjoyed both a honeymoon period of the first year or two after the wedding as well as being supported against stress from work pressure and looking after children or aging parents.

Shawn Grover, a researcher with The National Bureau of Economic Research in Canada said
'There's a lot of stress going on in middle age,'Having someone to talk that out with and having someone to support you in those difficult times can help explain why it's a bit harder for people without a partner.'
Those who saw their partner as their 'best friend' reported the highest happiness levels.

  1. Yea some r happy but not all especially during der honeymoon. All these fake ass research should stop misleading people, of cos everyone has its expectations of wat der marriage should b, but in reality is far from it. I describe marriage as well wrapped gift, u dnt get to access it's content till u unwrap. So to our intending couples b prepared n expect d unexpected n hope n pray it ends well for u.

  3. Marriage is beautiful. Two are better than one. The problem in marriage is when beauty, sex, gifts and flashy things lured us into marriage. To be happy in marriage, psychologically study the person you want to go in with before going it. If you are looking for a girl that is beautiful, sexy, knows how to kiss and prepare food, always clean and more... Be careful to know your priority in choosing that woman. A woman that has business ideas, a woman that knows how to handle money, a woman that can back you up with prayers, a woman that is very resilient, contented and always thankful might be your priority. But when sexual qualities entice you to marriage, making you to ignore that you wanted most, the marriage would turn to cat and rat relationship one day... it won't take long. Highest 4 years, what you want will start fighting what is not in place. You must have a discipline mind, a good manager mind that can manage you first before thinking of bringing someone from different background, different childhood experience, different parents, different parental upbringing, everything totally different from yours to become ONE with you. Some people haven't even understand themselves till now and they think relationship will easily work for them. Don't know if there are any typos in my comment... just correct it. Take care y'all. Hey hey... wait! I forget to say the most important. The Bibles says "AS A MAN THINKS, SO HE IS." I don't think you need any further explanation why you are the way you are. "AS A MAN THINKS, SO HE IS," this line in bible is pretty amazing if you can really think deep to it.

  6. Nonsense! I'm single as fuck and I've never been happier! I'm 24, working, getting my masters, have a car, about to buy a new one. Planning to get a new job and set up a company! No doubt, marriage gives a sense of belonging but in Nigeria of today, it's used for Rubbish purposes such as "showing ur friends". I love the idea behind marriage. The companionship, care and all but to say that married folk are happier, bitch please! Fulfillment wants to drive me crazy! God is so faithful
