Men get more affected to marriage
There have been an assortment of ways and also definitions of marriage or spousal relationship till date. While the general definition is that marriage is basically a social union or legal contract between individuals that creates kinship, it is also perceived as an institution in which interpersonal relationships, by and large intimate and sexual, are acknowledged by a variety of ways, depending on the culture or demographic.
Are you in need of more elucidations? Take for instance the Hindu and Christian views on marriage. While Hinduism considers marriage as a sacred duty that does involve both religious and social obligations, on the word of Christianity marriage is a gift from God, one that should not be taken for granted. However, in spite of all these differences, there is a distinct similarity.
It is that the true monetary value of happiness lies in marriage. According to the recently-made appraisal of a leading economist, a marriage brings 18,000 pounds worth of happiness to a man and only half of that to a woman. Are you getting confused? Let’s get specific. In accordance with Paul Frijters, the figures are what people would need to receive unexpectedly to make them as happy as their marriage would over a lifetime. On the contrary, during divorce or legal dissolution of a marriage, a man would be so devastated it would feel like he had lost 61,500 pounds. What would be the condition of woman then? The study states that a woman would be far less aghast, feeling as though she had only lost 5,000 pounds.
The study has been made under the tutelage of Professor Frijters, an Australian university professor who was this year named the best economist aged under 40. The professor has tracked major life events of 10,000 people since 2001.
"These are real people to whom unexpected things happen. They were not selected because these things would happen and because of that, we can accurately compare their happiness before and after," he was quoted as saying.
