Do married people do better in their careers?

[WTFdivorce]

yes

no

[Guy13]

If they support one another when one requests then yes. Her career is important too so some attentiveness to her workday, opinion if asked, and simply listening makes rest of life good and sometimes really good. Common Sense and how would I want to be treated is best way for me to go about her.

[LiamJHayden]

Sometimes? A married person might be more diligent since he or she might be responsible for another person or persons. Conversely, an unmarried person might be more willing to put in the 60+ hours per week necessary to make partner in a law firm.

[TenderFantasy]

I don't think they are connected. Maybe they'll probably even do WORSE since their time is divided between their family and their career, while those who AREN'T tied down have MORE time to focus on their careers.

[WTFdivorce]

I think many corporations who see a guy who is looking to get promoted to VP take into consideration if he is married and or has children. Haven't met too many CEO's who aren't married. Just food for thought.

[TenderFantasy]

Why?

[WTFdivorce]

Well because they have more to lose then some jet set single guy. They have a family to support.

[TenderFantasy]

Um that's not true. A job loss is a job loss. Corporations should DISCRIMINATE like that and assume things. What if that "single guy" has ailing parents to support or an ailing sibling? ! Whether is a guy with a wife and kids or not, it SHOULDN'T be a factor, that's just ridiculous!

[WTFdivorce]

I'm not saying it's fair but when a CEO is vetted all of that comes into play.

[sheikalana]

I think they force themselves to do better since they now have a family they need to provide to.

[TJ1892]

Arguably you'd say they'd have an advantage if there the worker of the relationship but it would depend on the dynamics if one works and one is at home one is driven to provide for their family and has full focus on their careers while having security in there private lives which can only give you a boosted platform to succeed particularly long term.

[exitseven]

yes, they are more settled in their lives. Show more maturity and are more responsible. They hardly g oout during th eweek and get drunk with their unmarried friends.

[midnightmoon05]

Generally speaking, yes. to add on…good marriage is good for everything. the key word is good.

[NachtjaegerSS]

@midnightmoon05. Only 14% of married women identify as "happily married".

[midnightmoon05]

@NachtjaegerSS I don’t understand your point.

[Apple1996]

For men yes they are more successful if they get married. Not sure about women tho

[HaveNoName]

I would be surprised if there is a correlation.

Only thing I can think of is that when there are dependants on you who rely on your income and you cannot afford to be without a job, you work harder and you are more tolerant and adapt more.

[WTFdivorce]

Haven't met too many CEO's who aren't married.

[aaron210419]

On the married people tend to do well in their careers, but when their marriages are on the rocks it can affect their performance at work dramatically.

[headphonekim]

You might be more organized and also be more aggressive due to the amount of bills and you will have.

[humanearth]

Yes I believe so, as long it's a happy/loving marriage

[Anonymous]

honestly no. i know tons of marriage people who are struggling in their careers because they decided to get married too early.

[Anonymous]

I'm pretty sure that marriage and career success have no connection. It is still possible to have a spouse assisting in it but so can someone else who isn't married.

[Luopio27]

Honestly, I dont know. Those who are happy in their relationships should do good in career.

[KrakenAttackin]

No, women will suck you dry of money, energy, your very life essence.

[TacosRAwesome]

Yes for men. No for women.

[artsy_dragon]

I love your user!

[boobliker]

not at all
