The understanding has been for some time that people who are married tend to live longer. This is something that you have to wonder about though because of how many marriages end up in stressful divorces if being married is really what leads to a longer life. Is it worse for your health to get married and then get divorced? The studies do say that those in long term satisfying relationships will have a tendency to live longer than those who are single.

Studies also show that those who are single tend to live longer and healthier lives then those who are in a bad and stressful marriage. Just as a healthy relationship can extend your life a detrimental relationship can be killing you.
Ultimately the decision to stay or go when it comes to a relationship is really based on whether or not you are receiving support from this relationship or you are being squashed by it. This does not mean that if your husband leaves his laundry lying around you should get out
, nor does it mean that if your wife is not a gourmet cook that you should run for the hills. Essentially the dynamics of a relationship go well beyond these superficial issues.
Looking at your own relationship means asking yourself a few questions. Do you feel that your spouse wants the best for you and does what they can to help you get it? Part of a good relationship is just being appreciated. People become so used to each other that they forget that the other person needs to be treated with basic human kindness. Thanking someone when they do something that they always do goes a long way. If there is give and take on both sides of the relationship then it will be balanced and that is always more healthy.
A decent relationship means that you get the basics of what you need from another person. The partners need to be of the same understanding about what is right and wrong in a marriage and to try their best to live that way. Sometimes people get to the point that they have more differences than similarities and they start to wonder if that is what they want. A marriage is something that takes work on both sides to keep it interesting and mutually enjoyable. If you can work at that then you will be more likely to live a longer healthier life.
