If you're considering getting married—or divorced—it may be time to mull over Maclean's reasons why matrimony is healthy:
- Married people have less chance of dying from car accidents, cancer, cirrhosis of the liver, heart attacks, and homicide.
- Men who divorce or separate are six times more likely to be depressed than those who stick with it; women, 3.5 times more likely.
- Two words: combined income. Married people usually have more money when they retire, too.
