In general, research suggests yes. Married people live longer, have better access to health care, enjoy a more satisfying sex life, experience less stress, live a healthier lifestyle, and have lower rates of heart disease, diabetes, and depression compared to their single counterparts.<\/div>\n<div style=\"border-bottom-style: none; border-color: initial; border-left-style: none; border-right-style: none; border-top-style: none; border-width: initial; color: black; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px; list-style-image: initial; list-style-position: initial; list-style-type: none; margin-bottom: 8px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;\">The list of health perks conferred by marriage is so long, in fact, that the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services has made it a centerpiece of its two-year-old, $5 million national media campaign to promote wedded bliss.<\/div>\n<div style=\"border-bottom-style: none; border-color: initial; border-left-style: none; border-right-style: none; border-top-style: none; border-width: initial; color: black; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px; list-style-image: initial; list-style-position: initial; list-style-type: none; margin-bottom: 8px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;\">But there&#8217;s a catch &#8212; men and women don&#8217;t get the same or equal benefits from a legally sanctioned pairing. A man&#8217;s sex life is likely to improve more than a woman&#8217;s after getting married, for instance, while a woman&#8217;s risk for depression tends to decrease more than her partner&#8217;s when she&#8217;s in a long-term relationship.<\/div>\n<div style=\"border-bottom-style: none; border-color: initial; border-left-style: none; border-right-style: none; border-top-style: none; border-width: initial; color: black; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px; list-style-image: initial; list-style-position: initial; list-style-type: none; margin-bottom: 8px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;\">And in reality, getting hitched may not be strictly necessary. Women and men can reap some health benefits just by living together, or even by being in a stable long-term relationship, research suggests. Experts believe that same-sex couples, many of whom don&#8217;t even have the option to get married, also score health gains, though almost all research so far has focused only on heterosexual relationships.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Arial, 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;\">&#8220;I don&#8217;t think it&#8217;s necessarily a matter of the marriage license; it&#8217;s a matter of the level of social support and mutual attachment,&#8221; says John Gallacher, Ph.D., a researcher at the Cardiff University School of Medicine in Wales, who recently published a paper on the health benefits of relationships in a&nbsp;<\/span><span style=\"font-family: Arial, 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;\"><em style=\"border-bottom-style: none; border-color: initial; border-left-style: none; border-right-style: none; border-top-style: none; border-width: initial; font-style: italic !important; list-style-image: initial; list-style-position: initial; list-style-type: none; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;\">BMJ<\/em><\/span><span style=\"font-family: Arial, 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;\">journal.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Arial, 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;\"><\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/www.huffingtonpost.com\/2011\/03\/03\/loves-health--benefits-_n_830455.html#s248095&amp;title=Life_Span\">Does Love Benefit Men&#8217;s Or Women&#8217;s Health More?<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~r\/WillClowerRecipes\/~6\/6\" target=\"_blank\"><img data-opt-id=484575033  fetchpriority=\"high\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Will Clower Recipes\" src=\"https:\/\/mlcmmqmgggev.i.optimole.com\/w:auto\/h:auto\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/feeds.feedburner.com\/WillClowerRecipes.6.gif?w=735\" style=\"border: 0;\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~r\/WillClowerOnTheCultureOfHealth\/~6\/5\" target=\"_blank\"><img data-opt-id=1945063305  data-opt-src=\"https:\/\/mlcmmqmgggev.i.optimole.com\/w:auto\/h:auto\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/feeds.feedburner.com\/WillClowerOnTheCultureOfHealth.5.gif\"  class=\"optimole-lazy-only \"  data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Will Clower Health Articles\" src=\"data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20viewBox%3D%220%200%20100%%20100%%22%20width%3D%22100%%22%20height%3D%22100%%22%20xmlns%3D%22http%3A%2F%2Fwww.w3.org%2F2000%2Fsvg%22%3E%3Crect%20width%3D%22100%%22%20height%3D%22100%%22%20fill%3D%22transparent%22%2F%3E%3C%2Fsvg%3E?w=735\" style=\"border: 0;\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<div><a href=\"http:\/\/willclowerblog.blogspot.com\/\" layout=\"button_count\"><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/willclowerblog.blogspot.com\/\"><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/willclowerblog.blogspot.com\/\"><\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This story from Health.com is interesting.
