Health Benefits of Marriage

Married individuals generally experience reduced levels of depression and anxiety, increased happiness, and decreased loneliness. While there may be complexities related to physical health, such as weight gain among married individuals, overall, married people tend to fare better health-wise. They are more likely to recover from health issues like cancer, owing to the support from their spouses. Surveys show that married individuals live longer, with men in stable marriages living 8 to 9 years longer than their unmarried or divorced peers. Women in marriages also live longer, although the longevity advantage is greater for men.
