Marriage Matters

Marital Commitment and Psychological Health

This article was posted on: May 1, 2018

Many factors influence psychological disorders, and social science research has
discovered that marriage in particular significantly reduces the incidence of the
following problems:

• Feelings of loneliness
• Depression
• Suicide
• And other mental disorders

getting married, more partnerships are ending in rejection, and levels of depression
are rising. Are there any friends you can help to get married or whose marriage
needs bolstering to get them through a rough period?
