How Married Men Can Live Longer

In the little time I have practiced, I have come to the realisation that there will be fewer incidences of #health complications in married men, if they listen more to their wives.

Let’s take my day to day practice as an example ( this is an unconfirmed statistic). The wife usually accompanies the ailing or dying husband to the hospital. Not the other way round. Of course you may argue that the man is usually older and more prone to stress as the breadwinner of the family. This is not entirely true especially in modern times.

It is often the wife that puts 2 and 2 together and advises ‘honey why don’t you see a doctor about that?’

Wifey  notices your clothes don’t quite fit anymore, or you seem to be going to the bathroom more often than usual.. She notices the pillow keeps getting drenched with your sweat and your feet are looking rather funny. She also notices that rash you think is a mere scratch.

Wives of diabetic men  make sure their husbands  follow  nutrition and health advice.

Many times in the Emergency Room one hears a wife complain

‘I told him to take his drugs’ or ‘I told him to see a doctor but he refused.’

This is usually accompanied with sobbing especially when the case is too far gone.

Indeed, if the statistics are compiled I believe husbands who listen to their wives actually live longer.

So, married men, Please listen to your wives.

Or what do you think?
