THERE ARE PLENTY MENTAL HEALTH BENEFITS TO BEING MARRIED
Did you know that being married can boost your mental health and well-being? Sure it can! You will find research that supports this idea greatly.
Those who marry actually experience better health in general both physically and emotionally. I think I know why that is. For starters, those who marry find that they are much happier with life, it’s easy to figure out why that might be… Married couples feel more fulfilled in that they believe they’ve found purpose and life meaning. There’s a boost of self-worth and a sense of confidence that can emerge from becoming married. All of which influence mental wellness.
Speaking of MENTAL HEALTH, what is it anyway? Mental health is Your emotional, social, and psychological well-being influenced by internal and external factors. It has an impact on the way we think, feel, and behave. Mental health can cause both positive and negative outcomes. It determines the way we respond to stressors, relate to people, places, and things. Also influencing the way people go about making decisions. The development of mental health begin at birth and continues throughout the duration of life. Any and everything can have an impact on mental health in the same way mental health can have an impact on any and everything.
How do you boost mental health and reap it’s benefits? Getting married is one way! People who marry find that life is less stressful. The partnership lessen the burden of taking on life alone. Married couples tend to take care of each one another through this dance of healthy balance of give and take, for the most part.
This is NOT AT ALL to say that if you marry all of your mental health problems will go away nor is it to say that as a function of being married you will never experience mental health issues. Actually, it is very possible to be at risks or to develop mental health problems at any point in marriage for a number of reasons. While there are plenty benefits in marriage, consider these few:
Better overall health
Joy and happiness
Self confidence
Fulfillment of life’s purpose
Satisfying sex life
Social support
Longer life span
Decrease in health concerns
More health conscious ect…
Individuals in marriage should really be aware of their own mental health risks and immediately address them before they become pain points in the marriage. Unresolved mental problems can be detrimental to any relationship. It’s important to seek guidance from qualified professionals to address any and all mental issues that may arise to overcome these challenges.
So while there are many benefits for mental health in marriage, this does not mean that the individuals in the marriage relationship neglect their responsibility to take care of their own mental health nor does this mean that your mental health is no longer your primary and top priority. Part of benefiting mentally from marriage is making an effort to boost your mental well-being on your own outside of the support you find from one another.
