Marriage How It Affects Men & Women Differently

The title of John Gray's book Men are from Mars, women are from Venus says it all, when it comes to the differences between men and women. This difference becomes even more apparent when we talk about the marriage aspect & how it affects men and women differently. According to research done, it has been established that married people have better mental health and also have longer life.

• Marriage & Health: As per the 2004 study titled "Marital Status, Marital Transitions and Health: A Gendered Life Course Perspective," published in the Journal of Health and Social Behavior, it was found that marriage had a positive impact on men's health. Another study titled "Gender, the Marital Life Course, and Cardiovascular Health in Late Midlife," (Journal of Marriage and Family) conducted along the same lines found that married women were at an increased risk of cardiovascular diseases.

• Marriage & The Difference In Basic Thinking Of Men And Women: One of the basic differences between women and men is in the way they think. On average, an average woman needs verbal declarations of love, yet when it comes to emotions & feelings they expect their partners to figure it out themselves. On the other hand, men expect their partners to be forthright when it comes to their needs and wants.
