A recent survey of the British public found that 72 percent of respondents reported feeling happier in the months after tying the knot. Ironically, they also felt poorer: Almost half said they spent more money in the months after their nuptials than they did before the blessed event. But they were richer in other ways, with three in 10 saying they had expanded their circle of friends through their merger with their spouse, and from old friends coming out of the woodwork in the wake of their wedding.
