Well, the joke's on them.
Married people do live longer and live better.
That's the results of hundreds of research studies that Glenn Stanton has collected in his new book Why Marriage Matters. Contrary to the rhetoric of liberals, feminists and academics, marriage is a safe and sound institution the brings lots of benefits. For example, married people are less likely to be alcoholics. One study found that 70 percent of chronic problem drinkers were either divorced or separated. And it was found that even when married people were alcoholics, they suffered less.
