Quote by Dalma Heyn
Married women are far more depressed than married men -- in unhappy marriages, three times more; and -- interestingly -- in happy marriages, five times more. In truth, it is men who are thriving in marriage, now as always, and who show symptoms of psychological and physical distress outside it. Not only their emotional well-being but their very lives, some studies say, depend on being married!
Summary
This quote highlights a surprising statistical trend regarding the impact of marriage on the emotional well-being of men and women. It suggests that married women are more likely to experience depression compared to their married male counterparts, regardless of the happiness level of the marriage. The quote further highlights that men generally thrive in marriage, both emotionally and physically, with studies suggesting that their overall quality of life and even life expectancy may depend on being married. This quote offers a contrasting perspective to the commonly assumed notion that marriage inherently benefits women more than men.
