New Research Says Marriage Makes People Happier, Especially When Spouse is ‘Best Friend’ – The study took data from around the world and controlled for people’s life satisfaction pre-marriage. Marriage was found to make people happier in all regions but Latin America, South Asia, and sub-Saharan Africa.

The study found people who considered their spouses to be best friends were twice as satisfied with their lives as others and suffered less midlife crises.

According to researchers from the Vancouver School of Economics, Undergraduate Society, “The biggest benefits come in high-stress environments and people who are married can handle midlife stress better than those who aren’t because they have a shared load and a shared friendship.”
