		Getting married? That is literally “a matter of the heart”. A survey carried out by Prof. Julianne Holt-Lunstad of Brigham Young University in Rexburg (USA) shows that happily married couples have a lower blood pressure compared to singles, even those who enjoy the protection of a supportive social network.
