Marriage is considered as a formal union and should generally be recognized by law. A married person is legally married. The single represents a person who is not currently legally married to any person. The objective of the study was to find out the relationship between Happiness and Life satisfaction among married and unmarried people. The tools used for the study are Oxford happiness scale (Hills, P., & Argyle, M. (2002 ) and Life satisfaction scale(Mrs. Promila singh and George Joseph, 1997) . The research was carried out on 60 Individuals (N=60) in which 30 were Married and 30 were unmarried .The average mean value and SD of happiness are m= 3.98 and SD= 773 which indicate that the sample population is moderately happy . Also the average mean value and SD of Life satisfaction are m= 126.61 and SD= 22.855 which indicate that the sample population is having average life satisfaction. Statistical analysis like Pearson's product-moment correlation, t- test and ANOVA were done using SPSS software. The result of the present study indicates that there does not exist correlation between happiness and life satisfaction. There is no significant difference in happiness and life satisfaction of married and unmarried people. To maintain the balance between people’s life before and after marriage, they need to define their role in society. Happiness and life satisfaction are the key factors in each individual's life that seek to strike a balance between married and unmarried life.

Happiness, Life satisfaction, Marriage.
