Paul Dolan, a professor of behavioral sciences at the London School of Economics, said unmarried and childless women are likely to live longer and be healthier than their married and children counterparts. The happiness expert noted that recent data have shown that traditional symbols of success do not necessarily correlate with levels of happiness.
He said, "You take less risks, earn more money, and live a little longer, etc. The happiest subgroup of the population is the women who never married or never had children."
The latest book by Mr. Dolan, "Happy Ever After," cites evidence from the American Time Survey, which compared levels of satisfaction and dissatisfaction with unmarried, married, divorced, separated and widowed individuals. The study found that the levels of happiness reported by those who were married were higher than those without husbands, but only when their husband or wife were in the room. People who were not married reported lower levels of misery than married individuals who were asked when their spouse was not present.
Other studies have measured some financial and health benefits that lead people to marriages, which is attributed to higher incomes and emotional support, a need that makes people go to the step of marriage.
The well-known expert of happiness explained everything in a simple situation: "You see a single woman who is 40 years old, who has never had a baby, that's a shame, is not she? No, maybe he will meet the wrong boy and that will change. Perhaps he will meet a boy who makes him less happy and healthy and he will die more quickly ", situations can to be the most different.
Children may be detrimental to the well-being of parents or people, while saying that secretly many parents may agree with the idea of the existence of their children, but not with their presence.
The motives are as compelling as they are. Because marriage and children are not always the primary cause of happiness in humans, rather! There are many who choose not to take this important step in life and decide to give them another orientation and dimension to their engagement and everyday style, which makes them happy enough. They have no responsibility for the partner, for the children, they have no financial obligations, no stress, no money wallet or the obligations that determine the parent's status. So, they live longer and are happier in their aureola!
