MONDAY, Jan. 23 () — Marriage offers few well-being advantages compared to living together, a new study contends.
The study also found that the benefits of marriage diminish over time, while unmarried couples who live together experience greater happiness and self-esteem.
Researchers examined data from 2,737 single men and women who took part in the U.S. National Survey of Families and Households.
