Preventative cure for cancer found: marriage

Yesterday, Cancer Research Communications published the results of a study showing a correlation between married life and lower cancer rates. Analyzing over 4 million cancer diagnoses between 2015 and 2022 in Americans ages 30 and above, the study suggests married individuals are far less likely to develop cancers like esophageal or cervical cancer, both of which are associated with sexually transmitted diseases. Unmarried men in the study were about 70 percent more likely to develop cancer, and unmarried women were about 85 percent more likely. In a world with declining marriage rates, studies like this show how crucial marriage can be even for longevity. But the Bible reveals there is a far greater purpose to marriage than mere physical well-being. Our free booklet Why Marriage—Soon Obsolete?, by Herbert W. Armstrong, explains.
