According to a research conducted by the London School of Economics, involving 200,000 people, having a partner is one of the biggest factors in increasing happiness, about 3 times more of a factor than doubling one's income. Consider that for a second... Consider how happy you think you would be if your income was doubled, and consider this research -involving 200,000 people- suggesting that having a partner would make you so much more happier. Then consider whether you're spending more time pursuing money or a good partner.
This research has significant implications and should at least make us consider our priorities. Having a partner is a big factor in improving our happiness but by extension we see the importance of good companions. Improving our social life by building strong relationships with our partners and friends seem to be the most effective way to be content and happy.
We should recognize the significance of having a partner (and good friends) and make sure we use the best tools and methods to find and develop those relationships.
