Meaning Of Discuss

           Over the past 30 years, marriage has become more of a social choice than a necessity. More and more people are putting off marriage for later in life than ever before. Perhaps the dismal success rate has something to do with it. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, about 48% of marriages end in divorce. It's a scary notion when you factor in couples who choose to remain married despite the fact that they no longer want to be together.

Today, 90% more single-person households existed in 2005 than in 1970. Even those who do opt to get hitched are doing it later in life. The average age for an American woman to get married rose from 20.8 in 1970 to 26.6 years of age

Perhaps there is something to this kind of thinking. Studies have shown that married people tend to earn more money and live longer than singles. There are also health benefits associated with marriage.The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) found that husbands and wives are less likely to smoke or drink heavily, experience frequent headaches and suffer from psychological problems than people who aren't married. Additional studies are finding that married couples experience lower levels of heart disease, cancers, flu, Alzheimer's, depression and stress. When you have someone who cares about you hounding you about what you're eating or harping on your bad habits, it only makes sense that you would do more to appease them... or least stop the nagging.

Despite these beneficial findings, placing your happiness in marriage isn't necessarily a safe bet. After all, nearly half of marriages will end in divorce. The chances of yours being a success can be determined by a flip of a coin. Those in abusive relationships, complicated relationships or are experiencing long-term financial difficulties are more likely to be affected by stress which has the potential to affect one's health substantially after prolonged periods of time.

Could cohabitation be the answer to avoiding the bad marriage trap? The U.S. Census Bureau reports that the number of Americans who live together without being married rose from 400,000 in 1960 to 7.6 million in 2011. Many people think cohabitating can give you the same results as being married. However, researchers of Michigan State University, Hui Liu and Corinne Reczek at the University of of Cincinnati found that the rate of mortality among men and women cohabitating still led to a shorter lifespan. Hui explains, "Many assume marriage and cohabitation are wholly the same, but our research showed that cohabitation, generally, led to a shorter lifespan."

One explanation for the difference is that couples that are simply living together don't have the same level of commitment to the relationship that married couples do. There is a certain level of comfort that comes from the public promise of a vow that cohabitating doesn't afford. We are more inclined to keep promises we make and as a result, will go through greater lengths to make things work. Without that promise, there is still the choice to walk away, much like any other relationship besides marriage.

You'll often hear that marriage takes work. Those whose expectations meet reality will understand that much like anything in life, there will be great times of happiness and contentment and down times that have to be weathered through. The potential for success in your marriage depends on how equipped and determined both parties are to make things work. You'll find just as many happy single people as you would find miserable married people and visa versa. What makes one happy has to come from within. Marriage should be looked upon as a bonus to happiness rather than an answer to a need.
