well, duh. wives never let you do fun stuff, and fun stuff is either dangerous or unhealthy.
Another one for you know who to read!
People who never married were almost three times as likely to die early than those who had been in a stable marriage throughout their adult life, US researchers found.
Not equivalent statements. If 1% of the married people die, but 3% of the unmarried die, then the unmarried are 3 times as likely to die. On the other hand for married people to be three times more likely to survive, then at least two-thirds of the unmarried would have to die so you have a 33% unmarried survival rate and a 99% married survival rate. Any higher and you would need a greater than 100% survival rate of the married people.
My Brother died at age 66 almost exactly a year after his wife passed.
I guess I am going to die. Oh well....

what about surviving middle age in an unstable marriage?
My ex wife will live to be one day older than me. She was put on earth for one resaon only; To torment me. If I’d have shot her when I first wanted to I’d have been out by now. BTW, I’m 61 and have been divorced from the bitch over 20 years. The definition of a wedding ring is a viscious circle.
hey I was Married, once. I dated a Women a few years ago who tried to STAB me (still comes by to retrieve the knife, Cops took her away with another knife).
NO I did not Read the Article.
None of the recent popes has died before the age of 60 (John Paul I was 65), and none of them were married.
I read another study that said married people live longer. But it turns out they decided it just seems that way.
I love being single. If someone in the room is talking and I don't like what I hear, I just hit the mute button. Problem solved!
I lost my wife when I was 48 and turn 60 this year. I tried dating but after her it was hard for me to meet other women that are half the woman she was. Dating women at this age is not worth the effort. Death will be a welcome rest and I fear it not.
when does middle age end so i know if i survived?
A good marriage is better than being single.Being single is better than a bad marriage.
I lost my beloved wife when I was 52 and I lived eight miserable years until G-d brought a lovely lady into my life and we will soon be married three years. BTW she is the same age my first wife would have been.
Marriage blessed by the Lord does absolutely contribute to longevity. At least I can wake up & look forward to each day.
Single men 100% more likely to enjoy the peace and quiet.
