    I don’t know how popular arranged marriage is nowadays but it may be a huge factor with India’s high ranking.

    I read this short book thinking I would be laughing at the backwardness but ended up admiring it as high culture.

      I remember seeing data that over a longer timescale arrange marriages are happier, and the crossover point was sobething around 5 years.

    I would like to see this again for people under 30. Or maybe just people who were single in the last 5 years. I feel like this doesn’t actually give too much information without accounting for other factors. I do think the unsure category in this study is interesting though. South Korea’s being tiny makes sense given their divisive situation. I wonder what situations lead to that number being bigger or smaller.
