It's been seven months today that Rachel and I have been married, and it's made me healthier.

This was brought to my attention during the initial appointment for my fitness assessment at Specialized Fitness here in Columbia. Not only has getting married convinced me that I need to get fit, but it has had a direct impact on my health without me doing hardly anything:

• Before I was married, my blood pressure was 120 / 80, after seven months of marriage, it's 110 / 70.
• Before I was married, my resting pulse was usually about 80 beats per minute, now it seems to be in the mid-to-high 60's.
