marriage and long life

Using 1989 and 1997 data from the National Health Interview Survey and the National Death Index respectively, measuring a sample size of different demographics and people group, research shows that you'll live longer if you stay married rahter than split up. Those that are married are less likely to suffer death from external factors such as infectious diseases and have a better life expectancy than those who are not. ("Marry or die" The Atlantic, Dec 2006)

Marriage, was meant to be.
