Study: Marriage and Cohabitation Boost Women's Mental Health

Is getting married really the secret to happiness? A new study of 8,700 Americans, who were interviewed every year for ten years, found that single women had a similar increase in emotional health whether they moved in with their partner or if they got married, and these findings held true for second marriages/live-in partners as well. This is news: up until the 1990s, studies showed that marriage provided a far bigger emotional boost than moving in together without marrying. This study indicates that marriage isn't as necessary as it once was for social support and companionship, and that living together outside of wedlock doesn't carry as much social stigma as it once did.
