For you Muddy..... Shortly we will live longer...... or maybe they will live shorter.....

Even using the traditional categories of currently married or never married, singles are catching up, but only men. Men who were never married typically had the lowest life expectancy (in 1972). Now, the never married men are closing in on their currently married counterparts. The difference in life expectancy is becoming smaller because (the researchers think) that single men now have access to support and health resources that, in the past, only came because their wife took care of them. In other words, in the 1970s, married men had the advantage (over never married men) because they had their wives to make sure they went to the doctor and took care of themselves. Now, men are taking more responsibility for their own health and it is normal for a man to express concern about his health and take action.
