Married people live longer!

Good news for married people… you’ll live longer married than you would have if you had never married. According to a study by Robert M Kaplan and Richard G Kronick recently published in the Journal of Epidemiology and Community Health, people who have never married were more likely to die earlier in life than people living with a spouse.

The study ran between 1989 and 1997 and included data on 67,000 adults living in the United States. The data showed that the death rate for never married people was significantly higher than that of married couples living together.

As Mr. Spock would say, “Live long and prosper.”
