A study was done that explored the United States versus other countries with data collected on 18,000 adults in 17 nations. The results offer strong evidence to date in support of the relationship between marital status and happiness. In 16 of the 17 countries, the married people were happier than their single counterparts. They also found that cohabitation, instead of marriage, was associated with less chances of happiness, health, and financial security. All of these studies showed clear evidence that marriage is essential to true happiness and joy.
