Men married to intelligent women live longer

Turns out smart women are not only totally hotter than dimwitted ditzes, but certifiably better for a man’s health.

Swedish scientists have discovered that men hitched to smart ladies live longer. Unfortunately, it’s not a talent for whipping out witty references to Thomas Hobbes or the ability to decipher economic policy that helps extend the hubs’ life, but rather an insistent and well-informed nagging. Researchers say educated women possess more knowledge about healthy living and pass those healthy tidbits on to their partners.

Darn! Well, let’s count this as a victory for smart chicks anyway.

If you’re smart, you’ll look at some great relationship info.

As I would guess that it is probably 'smarter' men who marry 'smarter' women perhaps the article should read, Intelligent men live longer

If I have to put up with "insistent and well-informed nagging" for the rest of my life, do I really WANT to live longer?
Which way did that dimwitted ditz go?

Maybe. People sometimes forget that there's a difference between correlation and causation. I would bet that men married to smarter women are also smarter themselves and smarter people are better wage earners, have better health care, are less likely to smoke etc etc. and, therefore, live longer.

Ladies rejoice. Women married to smarter men probably live longer too.

I wonder if it works the other way, too? I'm a vegetarian and my partner is not, but she often has whatever I'm having.

Well then, I guess my husband's going to live forever, right? ; ) At least he has first access to my musings and insights. Here's a few for you, if you like! Live long and prosper! http://writeontarget.wordpress.com/about/

Nah! They don't live longer due to the insistent nagging. It just seems that way.
