The Case for Marriage: Why Married People Are Happier, Healthier, and Better off Financially | PsychPage

The Case for Marriage
Why Married People Are Happier, Healthier, and Better off Financially

by Linda J. Waite and Maggie Gallagher
Review by Richard Niolon

This is an excellent source of information for the married couple on the benefits of marriage, and why it is not the same as “living together.” they provide a wealth of statistics, sound reasoning to explain them, and detailed readings into 100s of published studies to make sense of the impact of marriage.

Just found this great review of a huge study about love and marriage that answers the age-old question, "what's so great about marriage, anyway?" - lots of good comments and back and forth with the review's author (who has a PhD after his name, so I'm guessing he's a psychologist of some sort). Good read, in any case.
