Why married couples live longer than singles

• As we all know, health is wealth, a married person would have less exposure to some certain infections (e.g. Urinary tract infection, sexually transmitted infections etc.) because they only have one sexual partner (but nevertheless some married couple may contract these infections when they cheat on their spouses), unlike the singles that might have multiple sexual partners with no commitment in mind. • Eating healthy is vital to life, as a married person, you get to eat a daily home-cooked meal which is free from a contaminant like salmonellosis, Vibrio cholera, etc. , hepatitis A and E, H. Pylori, or even a food allergen. This is not the case with the singles as they are frequent visitors to fast-food, restaurants, ‘bukka’, eating anything, anytime and anywhere. Most singles get to come down with gastritis, typhoid fever, acute gastroenteritis, gastric ulcer.

As a married person, your spouse would not allow you go for unusual social gatherings e.g. nightclubs, strip clubs, rugged parties involving drugs, alcohol, prostitutes, tattoo piercing etc., there would also be a drastic reduction in consumption of alcohol, smoking and even keeping bad friends when you are married. This would reduce the chances of getting involved into any criminal activity that may land you in jail or even ear you a death sentence, this is not the case with the singles as they do not have anybody to caution/restrain them, hence they are very ‘free’ to harm themselves. There is no greater joy compared to the feeling of having your own family that loves you unconditionally, supports you, cares for you and would do anything for you. That happy feeling of returning home to the one you love after a hard day work and the feeling of having your own kids can increase your lifespan because of the happiness it creates. We all know the popular saying that goes thus, two good heads are better than one. Sometimes your spouse contributes some ideas to your business that makes it flourish, bringing in more profit which means more incoming money which will definitely bring happiness and satisfaction. A sensitive wife can sense an imminent danger and warn her spouse which would preserve his life.
