Married men tend to age more slowly than single men—and for women,

Break down the age hierarchy.

Married men age more slowly than unmarried men, but the same is not necessarily true for women, a new study shows.

The study, recently published in the International Journal of Social Work, looked at the impact of marriage on the aging process, revealing deep inequalities.

Experts tracked the health and well-being of adults aged 45 to 85 over 20 years to understand how their marital status affected their health – looking at a series of markers to determine whether each participant was “successfully” aging .

Physical health, mental health, social health and age-related self-perception are all taken into account when making decisions.

Overall, research shows that married men are more likely to age than unmarried men. But only if they stay married – separation, divorce and the death of a spouse can all have negative consequences.

On the other hand, the findings show that the age of married women is not significantly different from that of their unmarried female peers.

However, those who married and then divorced were at a disadvantage compared to their married and single friends.

This may be related to the fact that women are more likely to fly alone than men.

A recent study published in Social Psychological and Personality Science found that women were happier alone, less likely to want a significant other, more sexually satisfied, and generally more satisfied.

Experts say this is because women are more likely to have supportive platonic relationships to lean on, and romantic relationships are less beneficial to them because they are more likely to do more household chores and their sexual pleasure is undervalued.

But for both men and women, the stability of a marriage has a more important impact on a person’s health than just having a ring on their finger.

Many studies have shown that getting married improves people’s health – but this is one of the first to thoroughly explain changes in people’s marital status.

Recent data published in Global Epidemiology shows that marriage helps reduce female mortality by one-third.

Another study recently published in the journal Nature Human Behavior found that single people globally are at greater risk for mental health problems than their married peers.

The survey found that unmarried people are 79% more likely to suffer from depression than married people.

Equally worrying is the fact that compared to happily married couples, widows are 64% more likely to develop this chronic disease, while divorcees are 99% more likely to suffer from depression.

The number of marriages has been on the rise recently, while the number of legal breakups has been on the decline since weddings and dating were suspended during the COVID-19 pandemic.

The number of marriages will jump to 6.2 per 1,000 people in 2022 from 5.1 in 2020, the highest rate observed since 2018, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

In 2022, the number of marriages in the United States will exceed 2.065 million, which is the first time since 2019 that the number of marriages in the United States has exceeded 2 million.

It turns out that New York has the highest increase in 2022 compared to 2021, at 21%.
