Study: Want to make your marriage happier? Have kids - and the more, the merrier!
A new study of parents has found what many parents already know - that having kids is one of the most important things in their lives.
Moreover, the level of satisfaction with their lives goes up with every child they have. This is especially true of women.
However, the results are not true for couples who are not married - only those who are, so unmarried couples may not find the same satisfaction. In fact, the opposite seems to be true. Single, separated, or cohabiting people report more negative experiences in association with having kids.
Experts speculate that marriage may represent a frame of mind that is suitable for raising children for many people, while those in other stages of their lives may not have the same point of view.
Readers, what do you think? Does marriage and parenthood = happiness?

@CathElliott @pickledpolitics I think it should be made compulsory for parents to have "the talk" with their kids before they're 15.
