Impact of Marriage on Health
Marriage tends to have a positive impact on mental health by reducing depression and anxiety, increasing happiness, and decreasing loneliness. However, the impact on physical health, particularly weight, can be negative due to less effort in maintaining weight. Despite this, married individuals generally have better health outcomes, including higher chances of recovery from illnesses like cancer. Additionally, having a spouse can lead to better advocacy and care coordination in healthcare settings, resulting in overall improved health and longer lifespan, especially for men.
