Passing Notes: Does Marriage Increase Life Satisfaction?!

In this passing notes episode, Paola and Taylor share about their ideas on marriage and engagement. Paola lets us know she wants to get married for legal logistics, while Taylor explores why there's so much hubbub about signing the dotted "I do" line. Study author, Mariah Purol, also stops in to give us some feedback as to how she would respond to Day to data and MacroRoni and Cheese, and how the study results can put marriage into perspective and stop us worriers from catastrophizing. The 2020 study we chat about today is called, "Loved and lost or never loved at all? Lifelong marital histories and their links with subjective well-being" by Mariah F. Purol, Victor N. Keller, Jeewon Oh, William J. Chopik & Richard E. Lucas.
