A newly released study from the Marriage Foundation in the United Kingdom is shedding light on how marriage affects family stability. According to the findings, men and women who are married before welcoming their first child are 50% more likely to remain together as a couple compared to those who have children outside of marriage.
Harry Benson, a spokesman for the Marriage Foundation, weighed in on what the data means. “These findings are consistent with well-established psychological theories that have been largely neglected in sociological research,” he said.
