You can add a lessened risk for cancer to the reasons to adhere to God’s design.
In a new sweeping study of over 4 million cancer cases published in Cancer Research Communications, cancer has a 68 percent higher incidence among men who have never married compared to men who married, as noted in a report fromThe Wall Street Journal.
For women, cancer rates are roughly 83 percent higher for those who never marry.
Men who never married had a rate of anal cancer five times higher; for women, cervical cancer was three times higher.
Frank Penedo, director of the Sylvester Survivorship and Supportive Care Institute at the University of Miami, said that “it’s a clear and powerful signal that some individuals are at a greater risk,” according to a report fromFox News.
“It means that if you’re not married, you should be paying extra attention to cancer risk factors, getting any screenings you may need, and staying up to date on healthcare.”
Researchers said marriage is linked to consuming less alcohol and smoking less, giving indications to how cancer rates could be lower.
It’s also further confirmation of God’s Word.
Genesis 9:7reads, “As for you, be fruitful and increase in number; multiply on the earth and increase upon it.”
On marriage, Jesus cites Genesis inMatthew 19:4-6, noting that “For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two will become one flesh.”
