3 questions we have all asked ourselves at some point

Decide , that's the question.Throughout our lives we are forced to opt for one thing or another; from birth to death, life is a constant succession of small-and large-decisions that affect day to day and the general direction of our existence.

This is how the British newspaper The Guardian decided to make a report to explain the reasons that generally lead us to choose certain things, in front of certain life situations.

Of course there are more important decisions what others; there are situations that, as the case may be, lead us towards unsuspected paths.In these moments so convulsed throughout the world, for example, migrate or not migrate could be, for millions of people, a fundamental measure to survive.

But here we offer you the results obtained by The Guardian , the 3 important questions that people ask at any given time.

1.Live as a couple? Hardened singleness?

Yes, there are those who ask this question, “Do I marry, do I get married, do I stay alone?” When we fall in love we want to be with the whole time beloved person, but deciding to live together is already another matter.For hardened singles this may be a decision of the most difficult, because leaving behind the complete freedom of movement or solitary habits for the sake of a harmonious coexistence that may be uphill.

But, according to The Guardian , there are numerous studies that indicate that married people generally enjoy more stable health; there is a lower risk of respiratory illnesses, cardiovascular insufficiencies or diabetes, and they point out that it is because married people or living with a partner tend to lead a healthier life, as opposed to single people.

George Ploubides, from University College London , says that those who share “sleep, bed and macaroni” accumulate greater economic income, have a more active social life and face better unfavorable situations.in a loving context .

When there is no love, life as a couple can literally become hell, so many married people see with envy the trouble-free life of singles, associating "a stressful love" with an increased risk of heart disease, and divorces to a temporary increase in the chances of death.

It is an important decision, no doubt.Even for those who repeat over and over again.

2.Do I have children or not?

Planned or not, a child is always an important event in our lives: the schedule is disrupted, the couple's habits go to the background, freedom is reduced, feelings of responsibility change and affection for that new person explodes like a bomb…

Having children is not just a question that happens, inherent in our reproductive capacity and the call of the species to Survive.

In the research cited in The Guardian , during the romance there can be a higher level of happiness in those without family responsibilities and they dedicate completely to their partner; According to Jacqui Gabb-of the Open University's Enduring Love Project, that conducts research on the factors that affect whether the relationships are lasting or not-, what generates more happiness in a couple is being able to dedicate oneself the other, and therefore it is essential that, once parents, can establish "plans without children" to remember and reaffirm their ties.

However, there is something curious in the research: although mothers usually being more dissatisfied with your love life than those without children, is the group that shows more happiness, in general terms.And the parents? It cannot be generalized, of course, but the survey revealed that it is not relevant or decisive for them to calculate the level of satisfaction in their lives, whether or not they have children.

Therefore, especially in societies more developed or in individuals with a certain awareness, the issue of offspring is something that is thought.

3.What pet, dog or cat?

According to the British newspaper, the fact that you prefer the comfort of a kitten or take your dog for a walk every day not only responds to personal tastes, but also to "historical" reasons.How is that?

As we have already told you in several articles, the domestication of dogs happened long before we invented agriculture; It happened when we were still nomads and lived on hunting, fishing and gathering.

The survival of these endearing animals depended on their ability to stay close to the human group, thus changing their concept of territoriality: although they are territorial animals, their territory was transformed in the territory of their “owners”.

On the other hand, there are cats, domesticated in the Middle East at the beginning of the construction of settlements, especially to keep rodent and reptile houses clean.Unlike dogs, their survival depended on their ability to get food around the home; This is a reason that cats are so territorial and defend “like lions” their space.

The origin of indecision between both types of pet reveals our inability to determine which is better or worse companion, although both have beneficial effects on our health.When children have grown up with them since babies, they develop less respiratory illnesses and allergies, and the emotional health of adults improves significantly upon contact with these pets.
