Married people are less likely to smoke!

In December, researchers from the US government reported that marriage keeps you healthy. According to a new study by the Center for Disease Control, married people are less likely to smoke, drink heavily, or be physically inactive. They are less likely than single, divorced, and widowed adults to be in just or bad condition, and less likely to suffer from headaches or psychological problems.

Why is marriage important?

New research, they'll be healthier, richer, and happier

It can be a "survival factor," according to Barbara Bartling, author of Why Got Married Anyway? 12.5 Strategies for a Happy Marriage. Now, new research shows that they would be healthier, wealthier, and happier if they focused more on their marriage. There appear to be serious consequences for couples who consider quitting smoking too easy, which have not been addressed in previous studies. We have created disposable marriages in a culture of disposal with little regard for the personal costs of the individual and the family.

For a long and healthy life

If you are looking for long and healthy life, marriage may be part of the answer. Married people tend to live longer and healthier than their unmarried, divorced, or widowed counterparts. And while my husband claims he feels taller, the stats prove it true.

Marriage Advantages

* Unmarried mortality rates are much higher. 

 * For men, staying married boosts the chance of surviving to age 65 from about 2 in three to nearly 9 in 10. 

 * Unmarried people are more likely to die from all causes, including coronary heart disease, stroke, pneumonia, cancer, cirrhosis of the liver, car accidents, homicide, and suicide.

 * Marriage improves the mental health of both men and women - there is someone to talk to. Couples discuss their fears, dreams, and disappointments with their partners, which helps relieve stress and anxiety. 

 * The researchers also found that there are positive effects from the 'grumble factor'. This is it; Routine disruption by spouses to encourage a positive lifestyle and reduce destructive habits such as smoking or excessive drinking.

 A healthy marriage may also be the starting point for net wealth development. Not only is divorce very costly in the short term, but the long-term effects of not getting married greatly affect how financially secure you feel. I advise:

 * The longer people are married, the more wealth they have.

 * At retirement, average married couples raised about $410,000 compared to about $167,000 for singles, about $145,000 for divorcees, and just under $96K for splitters. 

 * Spouses enjoy better health and life insurance coverage. 

 * Married couples have increased access to pensions and social security. 

Marriage provides 'insurance'. In the event of death, husbands always leave their worldly possessions - social security and pensions to their wives or husbands. Through marriage, spouses create an "annual value" of 12 to 14% more wealth per person at age 30 and 30% at age 75 than those who remain single. 

 * Married people act more responsibly towards money because they have more responsibilities. By accumulating money, work, and time, married couples create more opportunities to build wealth. 

 * There is also value in in-laws - they tend to help the family when needed. In-laws also provide access to the inheritance. About 29% of married couples received financial assistance from in-laws and about a quarter of families with children received remittances in the past five years. 

 * Despite their jokes and comedic routines, married people also tend to be happier than their unmarried counterparts. Married men and women report less depression, less anxiety, and lower levels of other types of psychological distress than those who are unmarried, divorced, or widowed.

*  The risk of suicide among widows and divorced women is three times.

* Social status is one of the most important indicators of happiness. 40% of married people said they were very happy with their lives overall, compared to less than a quarter of those who were unmarried or living together.
