In old age, the average man is likely to die five years before the average woman

But after twenty or thirty years of being married to the average woman, he's ten times more likely to feel that dying early is not a problem.

Yes, there are many times when one takes real comfort in the certainty he won't live forever.

reminds me of the old joke:

Q: Why do most men die before their wives?

A: Because they want to.
