- Well, my English is not perfect in psychology field.
- I didn't mean that they have mental problems in sense of lunatic/mad.
- Also, I didn't mean that they are allready mad in their young age.

- My sentences above above and above means the same effect, actually.
- Let me explane again.

- I have read from the newspapers about animals in zoos, how they
- are lonely (alone) and actually die for their loneliness (also after
- their partner has died).
- I have also read about how some elder people die soon after
- the dead of their wife/husband.
-
- So, the researchs I have read about tells that
- people married lives longer and are more healty than
- people not married.
- (And the case is not simply as: "In almost every study I know of, this is
- simply a correlation. How many people do you know of that want to get
- married to someone with a "mental" problem?" as suggested.)
-
- Having many friends is not the same than having a caring living
- partner.
