Marriage is not the only pathway to reduced loneliness

‘The American Family Survey suggests that while marriage plays a significant role in combating loneliness and achieving life satisfaction, it is not the sole factor. In fact, church attendance is another key means to tackling loneliness, and this applies to all Christian women, whether married or single,’ says Ann-Louise Graham.

At first glance, the average Christian woman in the UK and the MAGA baseball cap-wearing women in the US may seem to have little in common. However, recent research suggests an intriguing twist - conservative American women are three times less likely to report feelings of loneliness compared to their liberal counterparts. Ironically, this trend could have positive implications for both married and single women in the UK.
