the ultimate question is… is it true that married men live longer ??? the statistic that claims they do, has been out there for a while now. i don’t know if i buy into it.
i’m single and try hard to improve my health as much as i can. i’m happy, and have many interests and some few good friends. how can
a married man have the edge on me ? please explain this to me.

p.s. most married people i know are NOT happy campers,
and they talk about how hard it is to make marriage work.

seem content with their marriage. so how is this beneficial
to a married mans health ?

Loss of climax
As of the last few times my girlfriend and I have made love, I have not been able to reach climax. There is mutual attraction, she is satified, and normally I am too. The only change has been some added stress in my work and I have recently run out of the prostate supplement that I normally take. Any thoughts? Loss of climax

I believe that stat and I think there are a lot of factors that are at work there. In the interest of full disclosure, I am married myself (very happily).
One of my own personal theories is the car theory. A car needs a gas pedal and a brake pedal. In my theory, guys are usually the gas and girls are usually the brakes (steering is not addressed in this chapter LOL). Like any guy, I sure like driving fast. I like doing other things fast too, and the riskier the better. At least, that’s how I was before getting married. I am still a lot more of a risk taker than my wife, but being married has tamed that down a lot for me, and I am perfectly happy with that. For instance, it was always a goal of mine as a single guy to go skydiving, though I never quite made it. Now that I am married I have no desire to go skydiving. My priorities of taking care of my family and raising children has effectively put the brakes on seeking that and other similar risky activities. This principle alone, applied across the board, would result in married man living longer on average as they would tend to be less exposed to activities and lifestyles that might result in death.
Guys, left to their own devices, tend to engage in risky behavior. A woman’s influence in a man’s life (whether directly by nagging or indirectly by a man’s own sense of responsibility toward her) has the effect of reducing the risk that a man is willing to accept. I think the influence of a constant female companion also has a soothing effect on a man’s normally impulsive aggressive nature and leads to better, more balanced mental health as well as decreased unnecessary risks. And as we all know increased mental health also increases physical health.
The logical conclusion (generally speaking of course) then is:
Marriage increases health and decreases risk of untimely death, which together has a net upward effect on the lifespan of a man.

i think what it means is we are wired for companionship. yes there are people who are single (even till death) and say they are happy. but i think there is much to be said about being in a happy marriage. having children. a family. im sure you are very happy but do you ever sit and ponder “what is missing”? humans need contact, love, companionship. of course im a silly ol gal that loves her freedom to a point, but love my family. my dh makes me laugh. he makes me smile. he brings me up when i am feeling very down. that is a PLUS. my son is so beautiful, he makes me want to be a better person. to remember that i better smell that flower and look for shapes in the clouds. forget about work, war and all the “adult” things that cause stress. but i do believe if you arent in a good marriage, you will want to jump off a cliff lol. i did that too once.leif i bet if you found a woman (not saying you need one) that complimented your weaknesses and visa versa maybe you would be less preoccupied on how to increase your health and lifespan. im not ;saying its a problem, it just seems like you have some extra time on your hands. do you ever dream of a beautiful (inside and out) woman that when you look into her eyes you sigh with a breath that makes everything seem perfect? that every morning when you wake you know you are loved? finding such a person isnt always easy but you seem like a fun guy. of course marriage isnt for everyone and im not trying to push it on you. wow i couldnt stop talking. (a problem also with finding a women, cant shut up!!)

“Also, you have to stop expecting a female to act rationally”
Wow, I’m astonished and appalled to read such a sexist comment from you. I’ve read several of your other posts and you seem to give very good advice. This, however, is seriously off the mark.
I think the reason marriage helps some men live longer is that women ensure guys see doctors as needed (I’m guessing the guy with the paralyzed hand in the post above is single). Lol. No, seriously, what I find interesting is that marriage SHORTENS a woman’s lifespan. The trouble is women tend to sublimate themselves in relationships. They tend to try to do too much for everyone and don’t do enough for themselves. So in the process, they do everything for their husband (ensuring their husbands live longer), and kill themselves in the process.
