HERE'S WHY. SINCE 1972 WHEN THE FIRST STUDIES WERE DONE THE THINKING
HAS ALWAYS BEEN THAT HUSBANDS BENEFITTED MORE.
MARRIED MEN LIVE SEVERAL YEARS LONGER THAN SINGLE MEN..THEY GET
SOMEBODY TO WATCH THEIR HEALTH, WATCH THEIR CHILDREN..EVEN MAINTAIN
THEIR HOMES.

MARRIAGE..WOMEN BENEFIT MORE FINANCIALLY AND SEXUALLY.

JUST BEING MARRIED THE COMMITTMENT INCREASES A WOMAN'S SEXUAL
SATISFACTION, ISN'T THAT INTERESTING? SEXUALITY FOR A WOMAN IS MORE
ENJOYABLE WITH A LIFEMATE. EXACTLY.

WAITE HAS ALSO FOUND MARRIED WOMEN BENEFIT MORE AS PARENTS...THEY'RE
MUCH HAPPIER PARENTS THAN SINGLE WOMEN.
AND THE RESEARCHER SAYS THE STUDIES THAT SHOW MEN BENEFIT MORE COME
FROM THE 1970'S...IN THE YEAR 2000 WOMEN MAY BE LESS NURTURING BECAUSE
THEY DON'T HAVE THE TIME.
