Till death to us part...married people live longer!

There are numerous studies that show that married individuals tend to live longer than singles! Despite the many stigmas often associated with married life...its dull, its boring, wives are nags and so on & so on! FINALLY, a point for the married team!

The data affiliated with many of these studies has produced multiple theories as to why married people tend to live longer. Emotional stability and regular sex are among the contributing factors. Emotionally, married people tend to be less stressed because they have a partner to share obligations with. That stability also translates into other aspects of life, regulating sleep, eating and unhealthy recreational activities. Your spouse will often hold you accountable, because they question and discourage unhealthy behaviours and encourage you to seek professional attention from doctors or other health professionals as needed.

There are also many known health benefits from sex! A married person, has regular access.

The pride you feel can produce a stronger sense of confidence. Physical touch and love improves your intimacy and bond with your mate, resulting in a more positive outlook on life in general. )
