Marriage Health

Well that’s according to new research from the Journal of Health and Social Behavior. For those single people, especially men, the good news is that the gap is narrowing.

Hui Liu, an assistant professor and sociologist at Michigan State University in East Lansing, said: “One of the most-often documented facts is that married people are healthier than non-married people, but the difference between married and unmarried people has changed over the past few decades.”

Scott Wetzler, vice chairman of psychiatry and behavioral science, and head of the “Supporting Healthy Marriage” program at Montefiore Medical Center in New York City, further added: “In general, marriage tends to make people healthier, happier and richer, and that’s especially true for men.

Also, remember this, “If you get married and then divorced, that will hurt your health,” said Liu. I guess you get the message.
