@LotusHart01 : "How when the divorce rates are so high?" Presumably it's the happier marriages that tend to survive and the unhappy ones don't.

Statistically being married improves one's happiness.

@LotusHart01 : "You don’t seem to have a valid defense of your initial claim that married people are happier?" Here is one paper on the benefits of marriage (which include also physical health). Note that the positive effect is in fact larger for men than for women. https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007%2Fs11199-011-9968-6 Of course, this is just a correlation which doesn't necessarily mean a causal relationship but it certainly points to that direction. "Does it improve the happiness of the 50% divorcees?" I don't know if the mentioned effects of marriage during the marriage are different for those marriages that end in divorce relative to those that last. If I had to guess I'd say that probably even those marriages that end in divorce provide a benefit (on average) for at least part of the duration of the marriage. But once the difficulties that end in divorce begin it might be that would not have been any more benefit to continuing. This is just speculation though. (I'm not meaning to imply that everyone should seek marriage. If you think you wouldn't be happy if married, that might be an indication that you're different from the average person in this respect.)
