[quote=Anonymous]Just because more men leave the marriage when the wife gets ill than do women doesn't mean that marriage is not a more protective state than being single. This is from the article referenced above: This was not the first study to show that a heterosexual marriage is more likely to end when a wife becomes seriously ill than when a husband does. In a study of married people diagnosed with a brain tumor or multiple sclerosis, the partner was more likely to be “abandoned” (in the authors’ words) when it was the wife who was ill. In those cases, 21 percent of the marriages ended. When it was the husband who became seriously ill, just 3 percent of the couples divorced. They found that 21 % of marriages ended when the wife got sick. That means that in 79% of marriages where the wife got sick, the husband stayed. Sure, not every spouse will stand by you through the hard times. But the odds are that they will. [/quote]
