"  According to a newly-released study, happiness is the key to living a long life for guys. But the catalysts for that happiness may surprise you: It appears that all men need to keep on ticking are love and puppies. Aww... Researchers found that men who are married, own a dog, and sustain their friendships are more likely to live longer than men who don&amp;#039;t. These factors are also more important to men&amp;#039;s longevity than things like money and class.  To measure this, researchers reviewed 200 young, healthy men in 1940, then checked back in on them every two years. While more than one third of the men who reported they were in &amp;quot;good relationships&amp;quot; are going strong, only four out of the 31 men who stayed single are still alive today. So, use this info as you will: Maybe it can help you persuade your guy to get that puppy you&amp;#039;ve been lusting after. Or maybe it could give him another reason to take your relationship to the next level. Or, heck, why not both? After all, his life kinda depends on it.  Want more from Natasha?
