Marriage
November 14, 2005Voice 1
Thank you for joining us for today's Spotlight program. I'm Peter Laverock.
Voice 2
And I'm Rebekah Schipper. Spotlight uses a special English method of broadcasting. It is easier for people to understand, no matter where in the world they live. Could being married help you to be healthier? Could being married help you to live longer? Today's Spotlight is on marriage! Studies show that marriage is good for both the husband and the wife.
Voice 1
In Taiwan in November 2002, two people in Taiwan set a new world record. Liu Yung-yang and his wife Yang Wan had been married for eighty-five [85] years! This is the longest marriage recorded in the whole world.
Voice 2
Liu Yung-yang and Yang Wan married in 1917. They were both in their teenage years. Liu was eighteen [18] years old when he married Yang. However, they knew each other for a very long time before that. They had known each other since they were five years old! When they were five, their parents decided that Liu and Yang would marry. Their marriage was arranged, or prepared for them. Yang's parents sent her to live with Liu's family. Yang helped Liu with his house jobs and responsibilities. And Liu helped his family to care for Yang.
Voice 2
For eighty-five years Liu and Yang lived happily side-by- side. They had children together. Their children had children. And, their grandchildren had children too! In all, Liu and Yang have one hundred and ten [110] children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren!
Voice 2
Sadly, Yang died in July of 2003. She died of natural causes in her home. She was one hundred and three [103] years old. But, before Yang died, she celebrated her eighty-sixth [86th] wedding anniversary. Liu and Yang had a very long and happy life together. Do you think Liu and Yang's marriage kept them alive and well for so many years?
Voice 1
Getting married can be a very happy event in two peoples' lives. It is a time for two people to express their love to each other. It is a time for two people to promise to be together forever, or commit to each other. It is a time for two to join together and become one. There are many good things about getting married. But the good things extend further than two people joining together in love.
Voice 2
That's right! Getting married can be good for your health! Many different studies show that people who are happily married are usually healthier. They are healthier both mentally and physically. That does not mean that all married people have better health than all single people. And it does not mean that all people should get married. Studies like this one deal with large numbers of people, with averages.
Voice 1
The studies say that a good marriage is good for mental health. A good marriage improves the way that people think about themselves. The studies show that married people may have better self-images. Married people may feel more able to do well in their jobs. And they are more likely to think about their futures. That is because they must think about more people than just themselves.
Voice 2
In a good marriage people receive encouragement and support. They also feel protected from harm. Married people are also less likely to feel lonely. They have someone to share their thoughts and feelings with. This is all good for a person's mental health.
Voice 1
Yes. In fact, research shows that married people suffer less from mental disease.
Voice 2
A good marriage is also good for people's physical health. Studies show that married people usually have stronger immune systems. This system of the body helps to fight diseases. Also, people in good marriages usually do not drink large amounts of alcohol. And, they are less likely to do drugs. Staying away from alcohol and drugs keeps the body healthy.
Voice 1
Studies also show that happily married people exercise more. So, they are physically fitter. And, they also eat better food. Food that is healthy. This is especially true for married men!
Voice 2
Research also shows that married people have fewer accidents. They experience less disease. And, they usually spend less time in hospitals.
Voice 1
So it would seem that a good marriage could be good for a person's health. But what exactly is considered a good marriage?
Voice 2
Well, a good marriage is very loving. And there are many ways to love someone. The Bible describes what love should look like. It says that love is patient and kind. Love does not want what belongs to other people. It is not proud or rude. Love is slow to anger. It is not happy with evil. Love is filled with joy. It always trusts. And love never fails. When people are able to love each other in these ways, they are very happy. And, many would say that they are very healthy too!
Voice 1
People can say special words to each other to show that they love one another. The most important words are "I love you." But there are other important words too. Exactly which words depend on where you are. For example, in some cultures it is good to always say "Please" and "Thank you." These words are very kind and respectful. And learning to say, "I'm sorry" is good for any marriage. People say, "I'm sorry" when they feel badly about something they did wrong.
Voice 2
The Bible also says that when two people marry, they belong to each other. The husband belongs to the wife. And the wife belongs to the husband. This is the promise of marriage. And it is the way that God desires it to be. He even gives us a command about marriage. He says, "You should not commit adultery."
Voice 1
In the beginning, God created one woman for just one man. When God created man, God saw that the man was alone. So, God created a woman to be the man's helper. God created the woman to be the man's partner and friend. You see, God created man and woman for each other. So, it can be good when they marry. In the Bible God says, "Wives follow the lead of your husbands. And husbands take good care of your wives." The joining together of a man and woman is very special. It is a relationship created by God.
Voice 2
So, can a good marriage really help to keep people healthy? Well, just thinking in this way can encourage people to create good marriages. And there is nothing unhealthy about a good marriage!
