Marriage and health

Hello Bwshul
I have been 'patrolling' new pages recently and it is is nice to see a well written page with references that is not a promo piece for some no name rapper or actor. And in coherent English!

I'm a bit surprised we didn't have a page on the topic, but I had a quick look and couldn't find one. One small tweak the page needs is that the reference should come immediately after the punctuation; full stop, comma, etc; without even a space. And it needs some wp:categorys added.

I see that it could need some expansion in some areas, I'm not pushing a barrow, but there doesnt seem to be any textual mention of 'non traditional' marriages such as same-sex, polygamy, or child brides (where there are certainly consequences ie pregnancy at very young ages). You do have one source related to gay/lesbian marriages. See also Same-sex_marriage#Health.

There also doesn't seem to be any mention of the often cited 'fact'? that marriage extends men's lives as against bachelors.

I would suggest that a very condensed paragraph be added to marriage with a Template:Main to direct readers needing more info to Marriage and health. 220 of ^Borg 02:22, 23 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

On second look regarding male life-span I see that you have used the no doubt more correct technical term 'mortality', whereas I was looking for 'death'! 220 of ^Borg 02:29, 23 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

On 18 December 2013, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Marriage and health, which you created or substantially expanded. The fact was ... that the link between marriage and health is related to cancer and heart attacks?

You are welcome to check how many hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, quick check) and it will be added to DYKSTATS if it got over 5,000.
