While I've heard the married = happier + healthier arguments for some time, are we sure that the cause is marriage, or some other trait heavily correlated with marriage, or that we've not reversed cause and effect?
- pentae 9y agoAgreed. Whats the chances that happy, healthy, stable single people are more likely to want to get married, and attract people that would want to marry them?
- Thetawaves 9y agoThe implication is that you're innately more sickly/feeble if you can't attract a mate? Yeah that sounds about right.
- gozur88 9y agoFrom what I've read the "married = happier + healthier" thing for men is only true if you put the divorced guys in the "single" column. Which doesn't make sense.
