[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I always thought men get more out of marriage than women. [/quote]
Married men are healthier than single or divorced men, they live longer and are happier. Men get a lot of value out of marriage, far beyond monetary.[/quote]

I wonder what the divide between correlation and causation is on this one. It might be, at least in part, that men who are predisposed toward health and happiness are also more attractive to women. [/quote]
Actually it’s super interesting - it’s the opposite! Unhealthy men marry younger, are less likely to divorce and are more likely to re-marry after divorce/death. Living with someone (even platonically) has great health benefits mainly due to less isolation. Marrid men are more likely to catch heart disease, cancer and other ailments sooner. They are more likely to get treatment for these issues, and they are more likely to survive after. Harvard has a great study on this. All the men b**** about their wives nagging them for this and that, but it’s actually causing them to live longer healthier happier lives - the nagging can’t be that bad![/quote]
