"a joint study that found men who married were far less likely to suffer from metabolic syndrome – a combination of diabetes, high blood pressure and obesity – than their unmarried counterparts'

That's funny--I'm a never been married male and I don't suffer from any of these things--yet most of my friends who have remained married (and most are unhappy)--suffer from many of these things--and those who have divorced have turned to food or other vices to deal with the emotional "fall out" that followed their breakups---women get the far better deal when it comes to divorce too---financially/the terms of custody of any children etc
