Divorce Makes You Ill...

New research shows that when married people become single again, whether by divorce or a spouse's death, they experience much more than an emotional loss. Often they suffer a decline in physical health from which they never fully recover, even if they remarry. 

And in terms of health, it's not better to have married and lost than to never to have married at all. Middle-age people who never married have fewer chronic health problems than those who were divorced or widowed. 

The study does not prove that the loss of a marriage causes health problems, only that the two are associated. We can see the truth in this study due to overwhelming amounts of stress and perhaps anxiety. Tell us what you think of it all under "comments."
