FAMILY: "True or False? Having Kids Makes You Happy" (p. 62). Senior Writer Lorraine Ali writes on several studies that show that couples without children are happier than those with children. One study finds that parents are about 7 percentage points less likely to report being happy than the childless. "For the childless, all this research must certainly feel redeeming.
