Meanwhile, the research – which was conducted by the London School of Economics’ Professor of behavioural science, Paul Dolan – suggests that the reverse was true for men.

According to the study, men benefitted from marriage because it helped them 'calm down'.

Speaking at the Hay Festival, Prof Dolan said: "We do have some good longitudinal data following the same people over time, but I am going to do a massive disservice to that science and just say: if you’re a man, you should probably get married; if you’re a woman, don’t bother."
