Another study confirmed that a happy family life is good for the health of the couple. A good wife reduces the risk of premature death by 20%, as researchers at the Japan National Cancer Center found.

People who are happily married are 20% less likely to die early, and this is especially true of the stronger sex. who are much less likely to take care of their health when they are alone.

Researchers from the Land of the Morning Sun studied the medical records of half a million people over the age of 50 living in Asia. The study period was 15 years.

It was found that married people had a 15%, on average, reduced risk of death from any cause, compared to widowed or unmarried people. Those who joined a happy family union were 20% less likely to die from accidents, injuries and heart diseases. But the greatest reduction in mortality was observed among men.

Previous research also showed that men take fewer risks and are much less likely to get into various accidents or abuse alcohol and drugs when they are happily married.

The study showed that the protective effect of marriage can also be explained by the fact that partners encourage each other to seek medical help and receive treatment in time. In addition, when two people live together, their financial situation is stronger, which is also important.
