marriage
Marriage is contranemesis. I haven't accumulated all the evidence. But it is pretty clear that marriage is healthier than singleness, and certainly the case that marriage is healthier than divorce. A married man with heart problems can expect to live 4 years longer than an unmarried healthy man. And a smoker is as well off married than a non-smoking divorcee.
Now there are many factors here that bear examination. And RAND is attempting to do that.

Thanks for this blog, Rob!
In a way, this is a downstream echo of the 3 gifts in the Holy of Holies, the ones we get each Lord's Day, is it not?
'Healthy' goes with wealthy and wise.
Shalom,
Chuck
