Are Married People Happier Than Single People?
It is common perception that marriage is hard work and can be very stressful and even chaotic at times. Still, being married contributes a lot to the happiness of an individual. Some people choose to be single because of the fun and freedom that comes with it, as opposed to marriage, which ties a person down to a life of commitment and responsibility. In spite of this, surveys reveal that most people are happier attached than unattached (Myers, 2002).
