Yet Another Reason for Men to Get Married

Not only are wives smart, funny, educational, and a good investment, they're also good for you're health:

Swedish scientists have discovered that long life and good health have nothing to do with a man’s education and everything to do with his wife’s. Men married to smart women live longer — simple.

By improving our nutrition and keeping us from being too risky, educated women help their husbands live longer. They also help them die less:

The mortality rate among single men under 34 is about 2½ times higher than that for young married men. Widowed and divorced men over 80 have a mortality rate one third higher than married men.

This is yet another motivator for me to keep my promise to treat my wife well.
