Where women are most happy as this study reveals, is when they have a nuclear family as God intended.
The study comes from 'The General Social Survey' which is considered to be the Gold standard in social science measurements.
====================================================
"The General Social Survey, the academic gold standard in social science measurements, tells us that among women age 18 to 55 in the United States, 40 percent of those who are married and have children report being “very happy.” Only 25 percent of married childless women report being very happy, while just 22 percent of unmarried childless women do. Unmarried mothers? Only 17 percent report being “very happy.” And during the Covid pandemic, it was those married with kids who were most likely to report being very happy during that very trying time."
"A new report from scholars at the Institute for Family Studies demonstrates these findings are more of a trend than unique. Fielding the Women’s Well-Being Survey (WWS) of 3,000 women in the U.S. in early March, these family scholars wanted to understand why married mothers are the happiest among women. The lead researcher is noted scholar, San Diego State University’s Jean W. Twenge."
"This team reports “Consistent with previous surveys, our new survey finds that married mothers are happier than unmarried women or women without children.” In fact, they found, “Nearly twice as many married mothers say they are ‘very happy’ as unmarried women without children.” Their analysis controlled for confounding factors like age, family income, and education, “so these factors cannot be the reason for the differences.”
