Numerous studies show that people are not happier when they are married than when they are single. This brings to mind the question: Why?<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Unmarried people naturally have different experiences than married people, so Professor Kislev has often studied the lives of people who have never been married or who have been married and divorced.<\/div>\n
\n
\n<\/div>\n
\n

1) Single people are more educated than married people.<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Results from more than 30 countries show that on average, married people spend the least amount of time on education.<\/div>\n
Life partners 13.8 years <\/i>
\nSingles 13 years <\/i>
\nDivorced 12.5 years <\/i><\/div>\n
Married 12.2 years<\/i><\/div>\n
\n
\n<\/div>\n
\n

2) Single people are more social.<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Summarizing the results of his analysis, Professor Kislev states that individuals who have never been married are the most social, followed by divorced people.<\/div>\n
\n
\n<\/div>\n
\n

3) Single people’s eating habits are healthier.<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
When social scientists thought that getting married made people healthier, they offered some speculation as to why this was the case.<\/div>\n
Professor Kislev showed that eating vegetables, fruits and other healthy foods is more common among those who have never been married than among those who are single.<\/div>\n
\n
\n<\/div>\n
\n

4) Singles experience less loneliness in old age.<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Do you think that if you are single you will grow old alone and your life will end alone? It’s all just a story.<\/div>\n
Professor Kislev showed that there is little to no difference in feeling lonely between single people and married people. People who are married throughout their lives feel more lonely. Kislev found that married people were 50% more likely to feel lonely at age 60 than at age 30, and doubled at age 90.<\/div>\n
\n
\n<\/div>\n
\n

5) What single people adopt is more consistent with the materialistic values of our time.<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Values around the world are becoming materialistic and individualistic. Increasingly, people value freedom, creativity, fun, and trying new things. This development has even become a cause for concern for some.<\/div>\n
Concepts such as freedom, creativity, fun, and trying new things are minimal in married people.<\/div>\n
\n
\n<\/div>\n
\n

6) Singles can make their own decisions more freely.<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
25% of married people emphasized that it is important to make their own decisions and be free. Among unmarried people, this rate was 29%.<\/div>\n
\n
\n<\/div>\n
\n

7) Achieving success is very important for single people.<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Many single people said that if they got married, they would not have achieved the success they had achieved. Kislev found that singles value their achievements in life more on average than married individuals.<\/div>\n
\n
\n<\/div>\n
\n

8) Singles get more happiness from social activities.<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
For all people, more sociability is linked to greater happiness. On average, people who go out with friends or do volunteer work are happier than people who are less social. Singles were found to take more action on these issues.<\/div>\n
\n
\n<\/div>\n
\n

9) Singles get more happiness from post-materialistic values.<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Contrary to many expert opinions, materialistic values do not make people unhappy. Unmarried people receive more happiness from post-materialistic values than married people.<\/div>\n
Singles tend to care more about these values than married people, and they get more happiness from these values, even when they don’t care about these values more than married people.<\/div>\n
\n
\n<\/div>\n
\n

10) Singles are more satisfied with the work they do.<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Previous research has shown that single people care more about meaningful jobs than married people. Kislev, on the other hand, looked at the links between job satisfaction and happiness in his analysis. Leaving aside issues of salary and convenience, Kislev concluded that single people are more satisfied with the work they do.<\/div>\n
\n
\n<\/div>\n
\n

11) The fact that single people are self-sufficient increases their happiness.<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
A study comparing single people with married people found something striking. Single people, the more self-sufficient they are, the less negative emotions they experience.<\/div>\n
\n
\n<\/div>\n
\n

12) Singles’ positive self-perceptions are more strongly linked to happiness.<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Not surprisingly, those who feel more positive about themselves are happier. Unmarried people get more happiness from their positive feelings about themselves. “The unmarried group is more happy with each additional lift in their positive-self-perception,” Kislev said. says.<\/div>\n
\n
\n<\/div>\n
\n

13) For singles, feeling successful and valued is more strongly linked to happiness.<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Another finding is that successful and valuable emotions are linked to positive emotions. Compared to people who are married, single people get more happiness from their sense of accomplishment.<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
