I believe this subject needs some comment from the far side, so here 
goes... Having been single, married, in a few heavy SO relationships
( that is to say, living with someone ) and now flying solo, I feel
basic personal health issues are better attended to when one is living
with a lover/spouse. For example, you have what appears to be a sore throat
that just won't go away. If you are living with someone, they will probably
notice ( especially if you like to complain ) and offer up some sage
advice about getting your sorry butt to a doctor. However, if you are
living alone, you might be tempted to just throw on some more sweaters
and ride it out. I wonder how many potentially dangerous illnesses have
been nippped in the bud by attentive spouses. Herein lies a possible clue to
the statistical evidence that marriage is "healthier" than the single
life. Of course, it may have something to do with the chemicals that are
put in Swanson "Hungry Man" dinners....
