New study reveals why married couples are happier than single people

14 August 2015

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.
