DON’T WORRY, BE HAPPY, GET MARRIED

According to a new Gallup Poll, adults who are married report being far happier than those in any other relationship status. From 2009 to 2023, more than 2.5 million adults in the United States were asked how they would rate their current life, with zero being the worst possible rating and 10 being the highest.
