And nothing but happiness come through your door.

Marriage, new research confirms, can be good for your health.
Researchers surveyed more than 80,000 Americans and found that people who never married were 58 percent more likely to die during the course of an eight-year study than their married peers.
Compared with people living with their spouses at the start of the study, those who were divorced or separated were 39 percent more likely to die during the follow-up period, and widowed people were 28 percent more likely to die.
So to all our friends to whom we suggests marriage,
we're only doing it for your health.
