Pattie Vold: If I had a million ways to say no I would use all 1 million here.
Valentine Michaud: 7 ways marriage benefits men:1. Married Men Have More SexIn a comprehensive study of sexual behaviors across the globe, British researchers surveyed more than a million people in 59 countries and found that those who were married had the most sex of any group. Other data from the National Health and Social Life Survey suggest that happily wed men also feel more emotionally fulfilled by each sexual encounter.2. Married Men Are Less Likely to Die of CancerFor a recent long-term study published in the journal BMC Public Health, Norwegian researchers reviewed more than 440,000 cases of 13 common cancers and found that married men were less likely to die of their disease than any other population, including never-wed, divorced, and widowed patients of both sexes. Single guys, on the other hand, fared the worst of all groups: Between 20! 05 and 2007, they were 35% more likely to die of cancer than their coupled-up cohorts. Researchers believe the disparity could be at least partly attributed to the emotional support men get from their spouses during and after cancer treatment. Married folks may also be more likely to get diagnosed at an earlier stage, thanks to gentle nudging from their significant others about keeping up with regular doctors’ visits.3. Married Men Are More Likely to Survive a Heart ProblemIn a recent study of 225 people who underwent coronary artery bypass, happily married men were more than 3 times as likely to be alive 15 years after the surgery than their unwed counterparts. Even not-so-happily married men fared better than bachelors: Among the former, the survival rate was 60%, compared with 36% among the latter. One reason may be that husbands are likely to seek treatment faster than their single friends, possibly thanks to their wives’ reminders or advice. According to a recen! t Canadian study of 4,500 heart attack patients, 75% of marrie! d men reported to the hospital within 6 hours of experiencing symptoms, compared with about 68% of men who were single, 69% of men who were divorced, and 71% of men who were widowed. 4. Married Men Have Lower Levels of PTSDAccording to the Journal of Traumatic Stress, frequent communication with a spouse may improve men’s health by preventing post-traumatic stress disorder in married active-duty military members. Researchers looked at nearly 200 male Army soldiers and found that those in satisfying marriages had lower levels of PTSD than their unmarried colleagues.5. Married Men Live LongerMultiple studies have shown that marriage boosts longevity. The American Journal of Epidemiology reports scientists at the U. of Louisville analyzed data on 500 million people from 90 previous studies and found that the overall risk of death was 32% lower for married men than for single men, equivalent to 8-17 extra years of life. Other data show similar trends. In a study of almost ! 75,000 women and more than 61,000 men in China, those who were married lived longer than their single, divorced, or widowed counterparts regardless of other health conditions.6. Married Men Behave BetterAccording to a recent study by MI State, married men are more responsible, less aggressive and antisocial, and less likely to get caught up in illegal or delinquent undertakings than their single peers. Researchers looked at 289 pairs of male twins and found that among those in which one brother married and one remained single, the coupled-up twin engaged in less antisocial behavior than his sibling. Overall, marriage reduced aggression and criminal activity by as much as 30%.7. Married Men Drink LessOne reason that married men may behave better, have more sex, live longer, and feel healthier: they drink less. According to a European study of several countries, while husbands tended to imbibe as frequently as their single friends, they consumed significantly less on each o! ccasion (and overall)....Show more
