Expert comment:

Many answers to your questions about our own can, for example, to stop smoking and limit wine, this is what we have long advocated by part of a healthy lifestyle.

South China Normal University, Department of psychology, Professor Zheng XI Fu: mental health effects of human life is very large, but our focus is not enough.

In this questionnaire, marital problems have a higher score. Marriage may not be able to bring you success, wealth, but it is a solid backing and warm to the Harbour, with perhaps no attention when, know it's lost.
