Marriage can have both positive and negative effects on the involved couple. This can be both physical and mental with responses such as related illnesses to increased life expectancy.
Research was done by Davis, which found psychological disorders occurring for the first time in people that were engaged to be married.

Davis concluded that it was the decision to get married that caused the stress but not the process of marriage.
