Gross National Happiness?

      Elizabeth Mata, who wrote this article on Opposing Viewpoints, says that other countries have gotten on board to measure their overall happiness. Starting this trend was the King of Bhutan who declared this gross national happiness was more important than gross national product.

      Mata makes a good point proving that relationships can really determine happiness or not. She says that when there are conflicts in relationships it can inturrupt happiness and can make people sad or hurt that any kind of relationship isn't working at the moment. This proves that even the slightest complications in relationships can stop us from being happy.

       Elizabeth even goes as far to say that no materials can lower happiness if all your relationships are close and located in the soul. Mata talks a lot about the significance of praying to God in order to improve or fix relationships that will in turn increase happiness.

Can people still fix and keep relationships in other ways than just praying?
