5 Reasons Why You Should Stay Married

Married couples who have managed to stay married longer than seven years often begin to wonder where the romance has gone. Most Strange Change Machine these couples would resort to all sorts of methods to stay intact-dating (at least once in every month), buying gifts, even doing things that are not in their routines. Often, they ask how they could ever stay married-but, then again, are they asking the proper question? Married people always concentrate on the 'how' part of staying blissfully married that they miss the most important part-the why.

There could be many reasons to stay in the bonds of marriage. Some find comfort in being with someone, some could still be passionately in love even beyond the 'seven year itch', marijuana facts others just stay married for the sake of the kids (which is just about the most erroneous reason in the world).

Here are the reasons why you should stick it out with your beloved:

1. Your spouse complements you (which is another way of saying that your spouse is, indeed, your better half!). This only means that you bring out the best in each other-yin and yang; hot and cold; or sweet and spicy. This does not mean that you never argue-this means that when you do get to the point of being disagreeable with your spouse, you calmly talk things out or let time pass before settling matters. This is not even 'I can't live without you', this is 'I live fully because of you'.

2. This next reason is based on statistics-married people live longer! But, of course, don't stick it out with your man just because you 'scientifically' want to outlive your parents. Marriage (healthy marriage, that is) gives a certain bliss that single individuals have yet to experience. Experiences such as bringing children into this world and conquering obstacles together do not only strengthen the bonds of marriage but also each individual in the relationship. Studies show that divorced people develop illnesses that only a few married individuals could acquire.

3. Nothing could be more fulfilling that the thought of loving and being loved in return. Knowing that someone cares for you and would be willing to stake his life for you is such a moving force that even the simplest way of living could feel like it's a slice of car insurance comparisons Need we explain more on that?

4. Staying married with the same person for many years brings about mental wellness. Studies support this statement yet it could be more than just the mental aspect that stays healthy; being married gives spiritual and physical well-being.

5. The last reason? Happy marriage can make you look younger (again, scientific studies have proven this). So cling onto that special someone-not because you would want to save on some night creams but more so because it is great to feel a sense of balance and belongingness.
