Marriage Linked to Major Health Benefits

[Karien Habela]

Marriage is very beneficial and important phase of life for some one for health benefits, both physically and mentally, and helps you to live longer. Men and women who are married have lower rates of substance abuse and alcohol consumption than unmarried individuals, even after controlling for genetic factors and family background. Married individuals have a much lower rate of suicide than those who divorce. Men and women who divorce are tragically twice as likely as married individuals to attempt suicide. Married women have lower rates of suicide than divorced, widowed or never-married women.

I'm sure I read somewhere that marriage is statistically better for the health of men than women.

A bad marriage is no good for either party and divorce can be a very positive thing in those circumstances.

After driving a partner to an early grave, that life insurance policy is a huge benefit!

It isn't the piece of paper that makes for a better life, it's the love between two people. Don't have to be married and anchored down for that.
