Let’s get started
Happiness
Despite entering a third year of a global pandemic, Canadians are optimistic and happy about their love lives.
Sex Life
After years of physical distance, single daters and people in relationships are craving more physical intimacy.
Sober Curiosity
With nearly 1 in 4 Canadians reporting heavy drinking during the pandemic, many of us are reevaluating our relationships with alcohol, and exploring a sober curious lifestyle.
Mental Wellbeing
Canadians are increasingly investing time and energy into self-care and their mental wellbeing and want to be with people doing the same.
Study information
The Happiness Index in Canada 2022 report was commissioned by eharmony and conducted by Harris Interactive. This is the fifth year of the Happiness Index survey and was fielded online between December 15th-31st, 2021 and surveyed 3,000 participants. Participants qualified if they were aged 21+ and were either married, cohabiting, in a relationship, or were currently dating. Results were weighted to be nationally representative by age, gender, and region.
