What are the health benefits of marriage?

The authors of a new study have revealed how married partners affect each other's health.
It is noted that marriage provides more opportunities for social activity and reduces feelings of loneliness. All of this can have a strong impact on health – from a reduced risk of hypertension and heart disease to a reduced risk of death or suicide.
Studies show that married men and women live an average of two years longer than single people. People in marriage eat better and are less likely to smoke and drink excessively. These healthy behaviors help explain why married people tend to live longer.
