People tend to choose to marry others based on their sense of the other person's health status.
Once people get married, their tendency to engage in risky activities declines.

Combination of many factors:
1. Economic well-being of a couple tends to be higher than singles. 2. People in very poor health tend to avoid marriage or not be chosen for marriage. 3. One member of a couple (usually the wife, but not always) tends to be more health conscious than the other (gets regular check-ups, reads up on health issues, serves healthy food, pays attentions to early-warning symptoms, etc.) and after marriage will attend to the spouse's health with the same zeal they attend to their own. 4. Less risk taking behavior "when you have a family to think of". It all adds up.

Being married makes me hope we both live longer.
 (It's her birthday today.)Later: Instead of taking her out (and spending a lot of my future pay), for her birthday she wants me to just stay home with her and watch an old movie that she checked out at the library.  I can live with that.

We decided to eat Chinese before going home. What she ordered was so spicy-hot, it took an extra half-hour to finish. So we watched "Numb3rs" instead, saved "That Touch of Mink" (Doris Day, Cary Grant) for another day.
