single and healthy

Here's another article that helps refute the common belief that marriage makes people healthier.

I'm always annoyed by claims that both physically and mentally, married people are a notch above singletons. About a year ago, I read this book, "Singled Out." Its author focuses in part on the way in which such research is often deceptively portrayed.

Here's the thing: Even if there is some kind of health benefit to marriage, it's probably dependent on being HAPPY with your significant other. And it doesn't at all justify marriage for merely the sake of marriage.

Thoughts?
