Mayo Clinic Reports on Benefits of Marriage

Here's an interesting story reported by the MSM that is in agreement with previous research: married couples are generally healthier, happier, and wealthier than their single counterparts. The study also showed that cohabiting, unmarried couples do not experience all the same benefits. Other studies have shown that individuals who cohabit outside of marriage are more likely to eventully break up or to divorce should they ever marry.

For additional insight in this regard, check out Steven L. Nock's book: Marriage in Men's Lives. Nock shows how profound the benefits of marriage are for men -- whom today, more than ever (and more frequently than women) are disregarding marriage.
