happily married people may be healthier than single people

Haha! I don't how to weigh both situations, I was never married and still single. I still look at my situation as something that is healthy. I live from day to day without anything to worry about but myself. I attend to my responsibilities with ease. There are some stress at work but it's part of me working out to enjoy more of it. If I will have a partner, will I be healthier? I'm not sure. What I am only sure of is, being able to help myself take precautions and live a lifestyle that is healthy for now. JNY

I think finacially singles struggle more, for example Council Tax in UK if you are single you get 25% discount, why not 50%, you still have to pay out other expenses but by yourself rather than sharing the cost and I suppose that can creat stress. I am a single parent and budget well but do struggle to do so even though I work. I feel I would probably be happier in a loving relationship but am also quite content on my own, can watch what I want, eat when and what I want without having to compromise, selfish in a way, but sometimes I feel that I'd like to share my day with someone when I get home, but I now have myLot and the friends on here really help if I've had a bad day. Ellie :D

I believe so because I have been married for more than twenty years. There are more happy moments than the opposite. We get to share and laugh together. Two heads are better than one.

I think having that support of someone who can help you when you need it and celebrate the good times with you makes life better. Happiness is not as fun without someone to share it with. Of course, marriage is a lot of work but I think it is worth it. I am not married yet though, but i look forward to the day i get married!

Married people have fulfillment in their life. People with out spouse missed some thing. But in the case of saints it is totally different. But all single can't turn into a saint. Further there is a risk of spoiling their health, if they doesn't have a check. Under the such circumstances, I agree with your view.

I am not sure if that is for everyone plus i think the key word is happily. So many people are divorcing as well, i am single and so far in good health,.

Wow This sounds wonderful and makes me want to have that life partner of mine here so we can already get married and start our lives together. I think single couples have more stress at times, People ask when they are getting married... I guess when you are married to a great person, it makes you a wonderful person too, it brongs about hapiness in you and it is shown in your physical body too. They say when one is in love she is "blooming" so that must be it for those who are happiy married, because you have someone to share you eerything, problems are divided, burdens are shared, hapiness is doubled.

I'm not sure about that. I think my husband is very healthy and he is older than I am. I, however, know that my health has went down the drain over the years because I am nothing but a pack of nerves. My marriage is very happy but I wear all of the stress here. I have to do all of the figuring out of things here because my husband just cannot think that way,

happiness doesn't only works outside it moreover works inside. that's the reason why happy people are more glowing. same with married couple, if their relationship is good and they are happy its more likely that their health is in good condition.

I do agree that people who are happily married are better of as it is 2 person sharing the same one burden instead of one person shouldering it alone. Besides, with the ability to communicate or discuss or trash out, tension is released in the process. Two heads are always better than one, especially when there are now 2 pockets full of vitamin M.

Good question. I am single and I have so much less stress than when I was married. I like being single. Then again, I was not in a happy marriage.

Yes, I definetely agree with you! I am not married yet but even dreaming about it is really a great happiness. I strongly agree it would bring health with it too! I am not only talking about my dreams of course :) I have some friends who are married after loving each other so much. Their happiness is really worth seeing :) In addition, I have someone who I love so much, and she feels the same way with me. I just hope everything will go on just like we want it to be :) I am already feeling I will be more healthy after all

As a single person I couldnt agree more. The stress of trying to remain celibate until such time will send almost anyone's blood pressure sky high. I find that I have to have one or two close friends that I can be very frank with and that helps to ease the pressure.
