Marriage has a very long history from the taking of wives by force/kidnapping to polygamous societies--among others that would include people of the Bible-- to arranged marriages, to politically advantageous marriages, to more modern customs of dating until you find a good match.
I know there was one for me, but she died early. There were a couple after that but, the circumstances just weren't right.
So sorry. I got lucky, married young to a keeper and still have him many decades later.
They did a study to explain why married men live longer than single men. After a long exhaustive study (millions of dollars) they concluded that married men don't live longer than single men, it just seems longer.
I believe however that the data shows unequivocally that married men overall live significantly longer than do unmarried or divorced men.
I think they do. In my life the ratio of widows to widowers I've seen is multiples more.
The data is far less clear, however, as to whether married women live longer.
So . . .
Because women constantly nag men to go to the doctor for check ups.

So . . .
But does that statistic hold up under close scrutiny? I am at the age where too many of my friends and family of my generation have passed on. But except for one, all the widowers have remarried, usually to women at least somewhat younger than themselves, while I don't think any of the widows have remarried.
That situation could be different from other peoples' perspective, idk. Many of whom I was referring to were family
If you have 2 parents 25 years ago, 4 grand parents 50 years ago, 8 great grandparents 75 years ago, and 16 great great gp 100 years ago, 32 gggreat grandparents 125 years ago, 250 ggggreat grandparents 150 years ago, 500 ggggreat grandparents 175 years ago, ....... 500 years ago, you had over 250k grand parents living at the same time making out to create you. Of those 250k of 500 years ago, how many do you think were black or Asian, or slave or mayors? Everyone was related to someone at dinner point. Neanderthal mixed with denisoven, so you may be more denisoven than neanderthal, and maybe more neanderthal than human hahaha ... Actually only 2 percent
I was being funny and somewhat sarcastic but you muddle up your own post trying to argue the issue. It's a bullshit topic for the history forum anyway and you make my case.
I was being funny too. Ho suck on some chill pills. Yeah the history of colonial women can seem like garbage to you. I understand that.
