Abstract
Marriage is considered as an important and necessary act in our society. Studies have reported a positive relationship between marriage and mental health. A focus on the most rigorous recent evidence reveals that marriage has positive effects on certain health outcomes. Do unmarried individuals really experience more emotional and health problems than their married counterparts? This paper examines the relationship of marital status with some positive characteristics like self-efficacy, emotional stability and health. The study compared married, unmarried and divorced participants. Results of the study revealed significant variations in self-efficacy, emotional stability and health status of married, unmarried and divorced participants. Married were found to manifest significantly lesser symptoms of physical and psychological ill-health as compared to unmarried and divorced people.
