As I get older, I appreciate my family more. I take comfort in the fact that I won't be alone in my old age. If I had to face the prospect of being completely alone in my old age, it would scare the heck out of me. I know that whatever I face in the future, I will have my wife and kids beside me. I also look forward to the day when I will have grandchildren in my life as well.
Statistically speaking, married men live longer than single men.
