Definition(s)

  • A key human relationship for most adults is marriage, which confers economic, social, and psychological benefits such as increased earning potential, resources for raising a family, and fulfilling needs for security and belonging. Across a number of surveys, married individuals report greater happiness and life satisfaction and have a lower risk of clinical depression than do their unmarried counterparts.
