One
of the ways that getting married improves your life is by making it last
longer. Various studies have indicated that happily married men tend to outlast
their single counterparts. For example, a 2006 study performed by University of
California researchers contended that single people are five times more likely
to die of infectious disease, nearly 40% more likely to die of heart disease and
twice as likely to die accidentally. Other studies suggest that the rate of
mortality is a whopping 250% higher among single men than it is among married
men.
Marriage increases your earning power
You
know that big-screen TV you've been saving for? Well, if you were married,
you'd probably own it by now. Being married means sharing expenses and
splitting the costs of major purchases. You cynics out there gripe about the
money women cost you, but the money you'd spend on dinner dates and the
occasional gift is dwarfed by the prospect of having an extra income in the
household. Marriage means you can afford the things you could never afford on
your own; it means a better home, a better car, a better vacation, and cooler
stuff.
Marriage gives you a platform to build your bloodline on
Technically
you don't need to be married to have a family, but marriage is still the
standard method for starting a family. The nuclear family, despite its flaws,
remains a sought-after model. That's why having a kids is another argument in
my top reasons to get married. Being a father is a dimension of manhood that
just about every guy wants to experience -- and marriage is the most stable and
secure environment in which to start a family.
Marriage prevents you from dying alone
Sure,
you're on a hot streak right now, dating 20-year-old yoga instructors and
baristas, but we both know that's not going to last forever. How's being single
going to work out for you when you're 60, when you have hair in all of the
wrong places and no one can stand to look at you? Marriage is an investment in
your future. Sure, you sacrifice some of your sweet single years, but in
exchange you get to make a long-term investment in one person, building a deep,
abiding love that has the potential to last a lifetime.
Marriage
makes you more attractive
Married
men are more attractive to other women. You can take this to the bank. Now, am
not suggesting that you should get married purely because it will make it
easier to score with other women, but we are suggesting that marriage makes you
appealing to the opposite sex. Getting attention from beautiful women feels
good; it's a confidence booster. Plus, when you go out with all of your single
buddies, all of the hot women will be hitting on you. Who's laughing now?
Marriage brings financial benefits
There
are numerous financial benefits associated with matrimony. For starters, there
are tax breaks for married couples as well as for families. Getting married
might also mean getting access to things like her premium health insurance
plan. Like it or not, society is designed to make life easier for married
couples. If you're single, you're out of luck. That's another argument in my
top reasons to get married.
Marriage means more sex
Married
men have more sex than single men do. It's a fact -- supported by study after
study. A study done by the Kinsey Institute, for example, suggests that 23% of
non-married men periodically go a year without sex, while only 1% of married
men experience 12-month dry spells. Similarly, while 19% of single guys have
sex two to three times a week, 36% of married men have sex that often. So,
while single guys are out at the clubs, spending their money just to get a
girl's attention, married men are home having sex with their wives.
Marriage means better sex
One night stands are exciting because of the thrill of the chase, granted,
but often -- too often -- once the two of you get naked, you find yourselves
fumbling and bumbling and unable to anticipate each others’ moves. Married
couples know each other; they have a feel for each others’ bodies and are aware
of their partner's fantasies. Consequently, married sex is better than single
sex. Further, a long, stable relationship lends itself to sexual
experimentation. Admit it; there are things you'd love to try in bed that
you've never told anyone because you were afraid of being judged. But in a
long-term relationship founded on trust, you can give voice to your innermost
desires.
Married people are happier
A
recent study done at an Australian university shows that married men are
happier than single men. In fact, married men are 135% more likely to report a
high happiness score than single men. That's an astounding figure. Marriage
offers a man the kind of stability and support that allows him to succeed in
all other aspects of life. Think about it: How much more could you accomplish
if all the drama from crazy women and bad breakups was replaced by the presence
of a loving and caring partner?
Marriage
makes you a better man
If you're a smart guy, you'll choose
to be with a woman who is insightful, opinionated and honest. That's the kind
of companion who can make you a better person. She can bring out the best in
you. She can challenge you to be the best version of yourself. On top of that,
through marriage you'll learn the true meaning of self-sacrifice and
compromise. In short, marriage will make you a Better Man.
