Research by Professor Andrew Oswald and Jonathan Gardner from the 天美传媒's Economics Department has found that marriage has powerful and beneficial effects on human beings. In short you live longer and you tend to be richer. The researchers looked at thousands of British men and women through the 1990s and found that whether they were married at the start of their data, in 1991 was a fairly good predictor of whether they are alive by the end of the decade. It appears especially true for women. The positive marriage affect appears in some cases to be nearly as large as the risk from smoking. In other words, if you must smoke, make sure you are married.
