Chapter 912: Marriage is Good for Physical and Mental Health (Part II)

Marriage is good for physical and mental health, translated by Zhang Bao on July 12, 2018

As today's experts confirm, there are many reasons to feel happy and happy in a "feel-good marriage". This kind of intimacy with a long-term commitment is great for physical and mental health, and the benefits continue to increase over time. In an academic report published by BMJ at Cardiff University, David and John Gellerz from Cardiff University pointed out that married people live longer in terms of life expectancy. Because women in a relationship have better mental health, while men are physically healthier in relationships of mutual commitment and trust. For this reason, they concluded that, in general, it was worth striving for by both men and women. Living together as a couple makes it possible for a man's physical health to improve as a result of the partner's positive influence on lifestyle, while a woman's spiritual reward may place more emphasis on the importance of the relationship.

However, the journey of true love is not always smooth sailing. Men and women who have a harmonious relationship with each other will be good for their physical and mental health. However, the physical and mental health of men and women who have a bad relationship or are strained is a concern. Evidence suggests that relationships between men and women during adolescence are associated with an increase in depressive symptoms in adolescents. This shows that not all relationships between men and women are mutually beneficial, but that single people have better mental health than those who have strained relationships.

They also added that once the two parties have established a certain relationship, it can be very difficult to break up, and parting ways is an extremely painful thing for them. Divorce can have a devastating impact on both parties. Having multiple marriages is also strongly associated with the risk of early death. For this reason, they conclude that while divorce or breakup can be detrimental to health, it is not a reason to avoid divorce and breakup. Good relationships improve physical and mental health, so what people need to do is try to avoid a bad relationship, not one at all.

True love Zhang Bao 2018.7.12

There is a saying in old Hebrew textbooks that says, "Love is as strong as death." But it seems that not everyone has experienced this intense love. Growing poverty, crime and war are reminding us that the world desperately needs true love. But what is true love? Love is an emotion we all need, but how do we know when we will experience it?

True love is best seen as devotion and action, not emotion. Love doesn't depend entirely on how we feel, but our emotions do, but it can't be the only criterion for our love. True love is when you care enough about another person that you give your life for them. When that happens, love is truly as strong as death. You will have mothers, fathers, husbands, wives, sons, daughters, friends, etc., but how many of them are willing to sacrifice their lives for you? Many people outside the emergency room door prayed to their loved ones, "God, let me take their place." May you find true love and be a genuine lover. May you find a love that is not only stronger than death, but lives in a truly fulfilling life.
