So in the article headline they state that the ambivalent marriage takes a toll on health, but in the article itself they clearly contradict this and state they are not sure whether this is even true (see above quote). I think AB-testing pointed out that the masses are becoming aware of Betteridge's law and online media now show more caution when publishing headlines with question marks at the end.
It's not unlikely that a few months ago, this article would have been published as "Does the ambivalent marriage take a toll on health?". At least then it would have been clear from the get-go that this is linkbait.
