3 Reasons Why Being Married is Better

1. You Live Longer
According to the Health Research Fund married Men live 17 years longer than single men. Single men’s risk of death is also 32% higher than their married counterparts. Why is this? Well according to the Health Research Fund, married men eat better than single men. Married men tend to eat more home cooked meals, while single men eat out. Single men are also less likely to workout, tend to smoke more and are more likely to partake in risky behavior.
2. You Make More Money
According to the Census Bureau, in 2010 the median net worth for a married couple between the ages of 55 and 64 was $261,405. That compares to $71,428 for a man heading a household, and $39,043 for a woman heading a household. In the Today article, “Why Married People Tend to Be Wealthier”, it states that married couples are able to combine their income, share expenses and utilize only one of the insurances. With the shared household duties, one of the spouses is even able to put in extra hours to impress the boss and get a promotion.
3. You Have Better Sex
According to a survey by the Kinsey Institute over 85 percent of married couples in their late 20s have sex at least a few times a month, compared with 35 percent of singles. There are many reasons for this phenomenon. One thing’s for sure since you don’t have to use a condom sex is much more pleasurable. Not to mention, since you trust each other, you’re more likely to suggest new things since there’s less fear of judgement. Also, familiarity plays a huge role. Married couples get a lot of practice with each other and have the time to get know what each other likes. One-night-stands are so overrated.
So, being married is way better than being single. You’ll live longer, make more money, and have better sex. What more do you need? Love. Oh yeah. There’s a bunch of love in marriage too.
Enjoy your day.
