All you need is love, love....

A study performed by the University of Chicago says that men derive health benefits from being married to a significant other woman in their lives. Specifically the study states:
"...married men actually live longer, fuller lives than their bachelor counterparts--primarily, researchers say, because of the love and continuous support system that a wife can provide."
The study was based on a stay-at-home wife versus one who works outside the home full-time. The difference between health benefits of each was 25 percent! The man whose wife works outside the home benefited less.

So, besides the obvious emotional benefits of marriage, apparently you can benefit health-wise also!

Have a Happy Valentines Day!
