People get a small boost in life satisfaction from marriage. The happiness boost that we get is only one tenth of one point on an 11-point scale. It is is probably due to our initial reactions to marriage and that we then return to prior levels of happiness.Researchers found that most people who get married and stayed married had been more satisfied with their lives than their single peers even before their marriages occurred. A person who is very satisfied with life probably has a rich social network and has less to gain from the companionship of marriage. On the other hand, the single person who is lonely and, therefore, somewhat dissatisfied, can gain much by marrying. Similarly, the person who is very satisfied with his or her life because their marriage is wonderful has more to lose if their spouse dies."

I agree with sarah. married people are happier, granting that they married the right person, otherwise it's hell on earth.
