Benefits of Marriage

Marriage can be often be described as sexless, boring, and oppressive.

But many studies help show why it is so great and can be very beneficial.

There are also an extensive body of evidence that documents that married adults are clearly healthier than their non-married counterparts

Married people also:
Have lower rates of morbidity and mortality
Health Benefits persist even when factors such as race, income, and health status prior to marriage are taken into account.
This means that married couples living in poverty are healthier then their non-married counterparts.
Their is a lower risk for depression
Greater Economic Stability
Contributing to better mental health.

Marriage is amazing and worth it, if I do say so myself.
