    Not sure if they meant strictly marriage or civil partnership. Also you can’t claim causal relationship here (not being married implies happier kids), many other confounding factors are at play, like Econ development. Plus don’t forget that some of the happiest countries also have some of the highest suicide rates.

      Exactly. The person above made the reverse causal claim that kids born in unmarried families will be miserable. There is no direct correlation.

        I wonder if there is any research about the relationship between full families and kids’ development
