Study: Having A Husband And Kids Doubles Women’s Likelihood Of Being Happy

[VySky]

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.”

The General Social Survey (GSS) is a sociological survey created in 1972 by James A. Davis of the National Opinion Research Center (NORC) at the University of Chicago and funded by the National Science Foundation. The GSS collects information biannually and keeps a historical record of the concerns, experiences, attitudes, and practices of residents of the United States.

Since 1972, the GSS has been monitoring societal change and studying the growing complexity of American society. It is one of the most influential studies in social sciences and is frequently referenced in news media, including The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, and the Associated Press.

Did the study also conclude that women are happiest when barefoot and pregnant as a housewife?

Again, that is not support of the "Institute for Family Studies" interpretation of the GSS.

The Institute for Family studies comes about the same conclusion about married women referring to the happiness as a trend vs being unique.

There's nothing like a good married woman/mother working hard to raise a family and all the effort and work involved. A very proud position to have in life, one that oftentimes comes with much sacrifice to herself while always looking out for the care and well being of her family.

This is being openly attacked by liberal/progressives to destroy the family unit to form a more socialist society. Don't piss off a hard working, loving mother and wife by belittling the sacrifices she's made. These women are due great respect and honor, imo. I cherish mine, this I know.

How about family units where the man cheats on his wives? Married multiple times?

But you want women to cook, clean, and raise kiss for men at zero pay. Sounds pretty commie to me

Soccer moms look like they are doing OK to me. Nice SUV's, hair all dolled up. Nails and toenails brightly painted. On and on and on.

Meanwhile with rampant toxic masculinity and incels, heterosexual men haven't really provided women worthy spouses for quite a while. Look at maga. 78m people voted for a rapist.

And yet this man is idolized by millions.

And I know several couples who either aren’t married or dont have kids and are happy as can be.

Idolized is a word used by jealous leftists, it's more akin to 'elected'.

Sure, I do too......most married women with children are the most content in life.

Idolized is what the world sees with MAGA. Fawn over his every word. Excuse everything he’s ever done (including cheating on his wives).

Where do you get your information that “most” women with children are the most content?

 

[BirdinHand]

I’m very happy. But I have an incredible husband AND an awesome kid.

I wonder why the Federalist has decided to roll out an article on Sept 1, 2025 referencing a survey from the GSS in 2022 though?

I doubt any women are going to change their marital or child bearing status because of an old survey. Or any survey.

Nor change their opinion on either topic.
