Expert Claims Women Live Happier Lives Without A Husband

Ladies, don't get married, break the stereotypes and go against the societal norms if you want to live happier and longer.

Dolan further added, the healthier and happiest population of women are who were single. All these findings were from the comparison of the level of pleasure and misery that he did in all relationships including married, divorced, separated and widowed.

As said before, results showed that levels of happiness for single women (even the separated ones and widowed) were fairly higher than the women who were married.

The result also showed that married women were happier than all other women only when they were in the same room as their spouse.
