Who Has The Best Deal?

I was reading an article this weekend that was debunking myths and one of the myths that intrigued me was the one that said married men live longer than single men. Although this is in fact a truth, the other side of the coin is that married women do not live longer than divorced or widowed women. hummm

So a guy who is married live 10% longer than an unmarried guy but there is no discernible difference between a married woman and on who is not...hummm WHY?

I thought about the married guy, he has a wife who is thinking about his health, making his doctor and dentist appts. Mostly buying the food that comes in the house, not only is taking care of the running of the home but usually works outside the home. AND, does a majority of the household worrying. I listened to a friend of mine worrying about her husband's health yesterday, her kids, her life and I wondered...hummm no wonder the male life expectancy is higher married. The male brain processes information entirely differently and I think anything that started with a "W" as in a worry just passes on through. While in the female brain the "W" does a hard stop and hanging around a while.

hummmm.
