The impact of marriage has been seriously underestimated in previous research
This is the key finding from Dr @harrybenson6's report out today, which reveals the results of his PhD study for the first time

What's really cool about this study is that I compare couples who start off the same - same happiness, income, education, etc. My PhD focused on who stays together: this focuses on who ends up happy. Lots more in my book Reliable Love - The Psychology of Marriage and Commitment.

Does marriage make mums happier?
My new @MarriageF research follows 3,700 UK mums over 14 years of parenthood.
Among those who stayed together, 59-61% of married mums reported high life satisfaction vs 49% of mums who never married - regardless of initial happiness!

"The downside of the last 50 years of the sexual revolution and the liberation of women is that men have also been liberated from the need to commit."

Dear @ONS, why oh why have you shifted to this awful long row-by-row presentation in your excel files, instead of the old wide column-by-column presentation? Please, please, consider reverting. It's almost unusable for analysis! Kind regards, Dr Harry Benson, Marriage Foundation

New wedding laws are a 'once-in-a-generation opportunity', says @MarriageF ... but NOT with what the government proposes.
Consultation closes tomorrow.

Senior police keep telling us that policing non-crime incidents is a waste of their time and causes bad headlines.
Then, we discover they’re still policing tweets even though they claim to have stopped.
Enough of this Kafkaesque
nonsense.
Over 62,000 people have been arrested for online speech offences in five years, according to a new report by Big Brother Watch. That's an average of 34 a day! Why police our tweets and not our streets?dailysceptic.org/2026/09/06/…

Don't marry a man because YOU want to. Marry him because HE wants to.
