Marriage shortens life?

Of all the things you can ask for in life, marriage may not always be at the top of the list.

Think about it: After your marriage you will never have sex with another person again, weekends with your friends are canceled to spend with your children, and five years later you will no longer have things to talk about. It is no wonder, then, that most men and women find their marriage more like prison sentences than adventure life, does it? Science, however, says otherwise.

In fact, married men are only living the dream: they're happier, healthier, richer and have more sex at least that's what the research compiled by the Institute of Family Studies says.

The study shows that married males earn 10 to 40 percent more money than single men. But that's not the only thing, because married men who are in their 50s accumulate three times the money that their unmarried friends have.

The study also shows that more than half of the men studied had reported being extremely satisfied with their sexual lives, compared with only 39 percent of single men who reported being content with their sex life.

Let's not forget to mention that married men live about 10 years longer than unmarried males. So, marry... your life will be prolonged.
