Reply to comment by [deleted] in Research finds people who are married have a lower risk of developing dementia after the age of 70 than those who are unmarried or divorced. Previous studies suggest that being married later in life protects against dementia, and that being single in old age increases the risk of dementia by Wagamaga
The study seems to use more nonobjective language than the headline but the main benefit seems to be from have more stable social connections versus isolation. It doesn't state the being married has unique benefits over staying single of that makes one happier.
However, people will draw their own conclusions based on their experiences and preferences..
