Married couples are healthier and live longer
- and so do their children

Married people enjoy better health than their single, divorced and widowed counterparts

Married couples live longer and enjoy better health, according to the Office for National Statistics.

ONS figures found that widowed men and single mothers suffered the worst health, with the greatest number of acute and chronic conditions.

The mortality rate for single men aged between 30 and 59 two and half times higher than those who are married.

Wives with children are also the healthiest of their gender, a sharp contrast to single mothers who have a greater chance of developing a long-term ilness.

The ONS analysis also indicates marriage can lead to better care for couples when they are older in comparison to their single or co-habiting peers.

Well-being is less likely for those who are not married as the figures imply bad relationships and separations are linked to poor health.

In particular, single, divorced and widowed older women have higher mortality rates than those who are married.

The relationship between parents can also affect the health of their offspring.

In addition, children whose parents live together but are not married are more likely to get poorer results at school, abandon education earlier and develop a serious illness.

Governmental figures also predict that a third of today’s teenagers will end up co-habiting instead of marrying and expect married couples to make up less than half the population by 2014.

Mike Murphy, professor at the London School of Economics and one of the research authors, said: ”Some of the benefits of marriage can be explained by wealth, as the marriage rate is higher in higher socio-economic groups.

”But the evidence shows there is something in marriage itself that is a benefit.”

過去的幾年裡,
舊有家教裡的道德觀被身邊或耳聞的不成功案例嚇散
對於愛情與婚姻,更有著硬生生被分離的不現實感
因為太多太多幸福的couples在得到大家的祝福後
破曉出愛情墳墓的照片
經歷了太過平穩後,不是失去新鮮感的無聊就是外遇問題

這些新觀念,讓我保護自己的告訴媽媽:
如果老公外遇,我絕對絕對馬上離婚的!小孩我會自己帶
因為我相信自己的工作能力與外柔內剛的大愛
媽媽聽了總是不急不徐的勸說:事情沒那麼簡單的

那天,英國BBC做了一份關於婚姻的研究報告
(有點類似上面所示)
我才知道,忍不了那一口氣,卻成了孩子成長過程裡的一份自私
即使,媽媽再會掙錢,媽媽再努力的補愛
原來....
對孩子來說,還是不夠的

一般的家庭看似簡單平凡
對某些孩子來說,卻是最白霧的夢想

就像我小時候到欣宜家
總是很興奮的坐在空空的餐桌
假裝自己是一個份子,詢問著全家一起吃飯的點滴
就只是因為家裡美人店裡一直都是忙碌的
爸爸媽媽只有在星期天的晚餐才有時間點亮我跟弟弟全家的時光
很普通的一家餐桌吃飯成了我最夢幻的好奇

單親家庭也是的
看完那份報導,我的婚姻價值觀又被更新
媽媽是對的(怎麼她老是有智慧道理^”^)
愛情裡跑進婚姻就不再是夢幻
而婚姻裡出現了小孩,大人就不能太自私

因為每個孩子,都想擁有爸爸跟媽媽
