We may dream about marriage, until we actually do it, only to find out that now we mostly joke or (hopefully) lovingly “gripe” about it. Still, we all know that breaking up is HARD to do. And, even the though of past breakups, even with those we KNEW were no good for us can bring back and immanent and very real sting. In fact, its likely that’s why we perhaps held on for so long in the first place.

Still, studies and experts say making light of marriage is a mistake, as marriage is vital to our vitality and happiness. And, done right, it has many benefits, many of which far outweigh being or staying single. Here are some perks of “partnership” just to name a few.

· Reinforces family values and creates stability for everyone in the family: The benefits are especially powerful for children

· Takes some significant stress off life: By sharing your life, responsibilities and experiences with someone special, having this type of bond and union is overall good for your health.

· Increases life expectancy: Studies show that since marriage, though most of us joke to the contrary, reduces the stress of life, and helps our health, it also boosts our live span and, believe it or not, bolsters our happiness.

· Stabilizes your sex life: We’ve all heard that intimacy and “physical closeness and activity” are good for us, so combining the two, can work wonders. Being married takes the guesswork out of sex and makes it a much safer and rewarding experience that does wonders for both body and mind.
