I have to question whether or not those stats are true, claiming that married men supposedly live longer. I believe those are just talking points , that we are supposed to accept as true. I believe there is an underlying motive behind that. I believe those alleged stats are made up for the purpose of motivating men to sign up for an institution that has been known to facilitate destroying them.
There are a few entities that benefit by men being legally married. The court system, lawyers, and anything related to weddings and/or marriage. Including using men to support women and their children who cant support themselves. Married and divorced men help keep women from bleeding the welfare system dry.
Many married men Ive observed over a few decades tend to disregard their health. Many tend to get fat and lazy. Their women tend to accept them as they are. Leading to a downward spiral , sometimes depression. Especially if the sexual relationship becomes stale or non existent.
Once married, enough men lose the incentive to focus on their health or appearance. I notice though, when there's a possibility of dealing with a woman outside of their marriage, many men switch back to caring about their overall well being. They start exercising again. Having a wife often leads to not caring about their appearance for enough men.
So even if the wife is good for him, that doesnt necessarily mean a man will live longer. There are a lot of factors that can cause stress to a married man, that will distract him from focusing on his health and well being. Especially the stress of trying to take care of a woman and/or a family. With the woman or the family being a contributing part to his stress.
Especially if he is going through trials and tribulations trying to meet his obligations and responsibilities. Single , unmarried men may not have the same level of stress, due to not being responsible directly to a woman and/or an entire family.
Stats also claim that most marriages end in separation or divorce, so I cant for the life of me figure out how they came up with the idea that married men supposedly live longer if half or most marriages end in divorce, separation or one of the spouses have died??? How did they get, that married men live longer?
