Marriage Vows. Learn the Power of Marriage!
The Joy of Marriage There is tremendous power in exchanging marriage vows. Dedication is one of the key building blocks of a successful marriage. The power of marriage vows increases the commitment that two people have for each other. Marriage creates an environment of permanence. Think for a minute what making those vows to each other does. It is a contract. Marriage is a public event. Two people publicly commit to each other that they accept responsibility for each other’s happiness and care. Both parties commit to be faithful and to always being there in sickness and in health. Consequently, what does this do? Married people typically are healthier. Married people are typically in better health mentally and physically. For instance, men usually eat better because their wives encourage them to do so. Men are less inclined to engage in risky behavior that could cause injury or death. Men get more sleep. Married men are more inclined to see a doctor when they are sick. I recently read that the leading cause of death for single men between the ages of 18 and 40 is homicide. Most of these homicides occur late at night, involve alcohol, and some kind of disagreement. Someone pulls a gain or knife and someone is then seriously hurt or dies. Why is a married man less likely to die from homicide? Because most married men are not at bars late at night drinking alcohol. As a result, their risk of homicide decreases substantially.
The Effects of Marriage on Health
If you are a woman, how will marriage help you? Believe it or not statistics show that men are less likely to be abusive to the mothers of their children when they are married to them. Who is it that usually abuses women? It is a boyfriend or someone that the woman is living with. That does not mean that abuse will not occur. It means that the likelihood of abuse occurring is much less likely. Also, women are more likely to be satisfied with their relationship, be in better mental, and physical health than unmarried women.
