It just depends on what makes you happier, being married or being single. If you are depressed then that's not good. Find what makes you happy!

Married people live longer as well. Single men have mortality rates that are 250% higher than married men. Single women have mortality rates that are 50% higher than married women (Ross et all, 1990). Having a spouse can decrease your risk for dying from cancer as much as knocking ten years off your life. Single people spend longer in the hospital, and have a greater risk of dying after surgery (Goodwin et al, 1987).
Married women are 30% more likely to rate their health as excellent or very good compared to single women, and 40% less likely to rate their health as only fair or poor compared to single women. Based on life expectancies, nine of ten married men and women alive at age 48 are alive at 65, while only six of ten single men and eight of ten single women make it to 65. Married men may have better immune systems as well, either from support or from nagging to monitor blood pressure, cholesterol, weight, etc... and may be at less risk to catch colds (Cohen et al, 1997)

Men live longer if married, women live longer and happier if single.

i would say they live longer being married. Having a life partner brings about happiness in so many ways. it's nice to have someone to grow old with and to share life experiences with and live a calmer, healthier lifestyle. i would do a google search for it if you wanted specific statistical results.

I think it is when they are married as it is only to one woman and she takes care of all his needs

married because they have someone to look after them, and are more behaved ie. less partying
