Anyone who has ever enjoyed strong support from someone who loves him or her can vouch for the fact that one just copes better when faced with a stressful situation.

Did you know that the feel-good hormone also restores the growth of nerves, resulting in imporved memory. So if you want to beat dementia, fall in love!

Another fascinating medical anecdote is the lower cancer rates among married people compared to singles.

Love also works on your brain, activating that part of the brain that keeps pain under control. Happily married people complain of fewer headaches and back pain. The happier the marriage, the greater the effect.
