Saving your marriage could save your life!

That's right! It's OFFICIAL: Married men live longer and suffer less disease. Marriage is good for you! So says the Australian Bureau of Statistics. The median age of death for non-married men in 1992 was only 52 years, while married men lived on average to 75 years. The Australian National Health Strategy reported that never-married men have a death rate 124% higher than married men, and divorced/widowed men have a death rate 102% higher. The Australian Institute of Health and Welfare found in 1994 that the unmarried have mortality rates double those of married people.
If found these startling facts in a book called Twenty-One Reasons Why Marriage Matters, published by the National Marriage Coalition. (Thanks, Warwick.)
