From a statistically standpoint individuals within long-term marriages live longer than single people (even SO situations).
Marriage comes down to responsibility, hard work, and commitment. If both sides aren't in for the long haul then it won't work. Too many people seem to get in it thinking it's not hard work (it is...a good marriage doesn't just happen)...it goes south and then it's easier to bail then deal with making it work.
In regards to cheating I personally know of a couple of friends that were in long term marriages (20+ years) where either divorce or cheating happened. I don't quite understand it...if you devote that much of your life to it shouldn't you work to keep it?
On a good note...if you have a good marriage the fun and frequency in the bedroom gets better, not worse. The worse part is a myth.
