DESPITE the barbs of comedians and the spectacular bust-ups documented in the gossip magazines, marriage really is good for you, international research has found.

A study of nearly 34,500 people in 15 countries found married people are less likely to suffer from depression, anxiety and substance abuse, clinical psychologist Kate Scott of New Zealand's University of Otago said.

My ole' lady works the midnight shift on weekdays and I love it. I get the whole bed to myself and I can watch TV in the bedroom without her bothering me, complaining she can't sleep with the TV on.

Exactly - my wife and I sleep on two different beds.. 'cause all she does is move around when I'm trying to sleep... I also got myself a head set so I can use it with the television... My wife works 3rd shift..

I've been happily unmarried for 14 years now, and I wouldn't change a thing.

Not a fact. One researcher says this and another says that. Absolutely biased baloney used to push political agendas, nothing more.
