On April 29, the Wall Street Journal reported that a long-term first marriage is a new status symbol.
Research shows that marriage benefits everyone involved - men, women, children and society.
The married are healthier, wealthier, more successful on all measures, and even have better sex. More is known today than ever before about how to keep marriages strong and healthy. Likewise, more is known than ever about staying physically healthy through exercise. Yet 20-25 percent of Americans report they get no exercise and another third get too little to improve their health. Part of the marital stability problem we face in our society may be related to erroneous beliefs about marriage perpetuated by western culture.
