“A recent study found that marriage has actual health benefits. Married people live longer, have fewer strokes, and fewer heart-attacks than people who are single. Scientific or not, I find that study incredibly irritating."
“Happily, there are other studies that tell us the real truth about the health benefits of marriage, which is that the benefits have nothing to do with marriage at all. Because those studies have shown that staying in an unhappy marriage is the worst thing you can do for your health and for your children. So better health is a direct result of healthy relationships. You don’t need a spouse. You just need someone you can trust. You need someone you can talk to. You need someone who will celebrate your wins, and grieve your losses. You need someone who can forgive you. You need someone who will show up, no questions asked, and walk with you through every unexpected twist and turn life throws your way.”~ Meredith Grey 14x24 - “All of Me”
