I'd also like to see if they controlled for age. I'm currently on my phone so I'm not when going to bother hunting down the study.

Age is mentioned as a contributing factor in the news piece so they seem to have at least investigated both marriage and age (in addition to depression).
The news piece doesn't appear to link to any published study. They do mention that the findings will be presented so perhaps a peer-reviewed publication will follow too?
