The text lists several physiological benefits for marriage. What are they?
What will be an ideal response?
Married people are healthier than nonmarried individuals (Ribar,
2003). Research studies have found, for example, that marriage appears to prolong mental
acuity and functioning and is associated with more vitality in women over age 60 (Michael,
Berkman, Colditz, & Kawachi, 2001). Also, married men tend to be healthier than unmarried
men. Some research suggests that married men are healthier because their wives nurture them
and provide "tender loving care" for them (Maushart, 2002).
