Marriage in North America

LONDON FREE PRESS--Despite the 50% divorce rate in North America, Campbell believes marriage will remain popular. "The fact is the majority of people who get married, stay married for a long time. And some stay married forever." Marriage is directly linked to health and happiness. Preliminary research shows people who are married tend, overall, to be happier in life and have better health outcomes than those who have never wed. However, people who have never been married tend to be happier than those who have married and divorced. Campbell sees speed-dating, in particular, as an attractive alternative for those who have felt the sting of rejection. LONDON FREE PRESS
