With everything in the open, people feel they know a lot about marriage. But there are some hidden and surprising benefits to being married that we came across. Let us go through them.

1) It Lowers your stress

Seems shocking? It always seems that marriage increases our stress. With so much responsibility on our shoulders, and so many things to do. What marriage also gives is a partner, to talk to, to discuss things with, to share things with.

2) It makes you Richer

By rich, I don’t mean inherited from the family. But what marriage gives, are tax benefits, growth benefits, and support. All of those result in capital growth too! Apart from that, things that a person needed alone, are now being shared by two. By saving a penny a day, at the end of a span of time, you actually get to save a lot and feel a lot richer too. And to think, we always thought post married life to be a costly affair.

3) Health Insurance Benefits

Strange as it may sound, a couple of health insurance is a lot more reasonably priced than an individual one. Though not a very big difference is seen on this, over the span of time, it does create a very huge impact. Couple insurance is not just less expensive, it also gives better and larger coverage.

4) Better Health

There is a bundle of benefits to marriage. It helps you keep good health. When there is no stress and you are always happy, can health issues come close to you? It is said that happy eating also helps you keep fit. A lot of health issues are omitted after marriage. Strange as it may sound, marriage is a deal-breaker for good health.

5) Self Actualization

With a lot of little time on your plate and a lot to do, you actually get to realize your worth and your faults. It also gives you a picture of how you want to shape your life, and how do you want others to treat you. Marriage takes you to that place in your life, where you know yourself better, and others even more.

There are too many other benefits of being married. Be it a good sex life, or kids, or another family to love you, or care and support, marriage is full of surprises and love.
