In England - as in many other countries - women outlive their husbands by several yeara
Given that women often marry men older than thems selves - this could mean women having an extra 20 years or more life than their husbands
I think these blissfully peaceful later years are a reward from God for having to put up with a lazy useless man for most of their lives
In evolutionary terms women should be able to live longer because their job is to give birth to new generation. Giving birth is a heavy job, which needs a stronger body to tolerate difficulties like diseases. So women must have stronger resistance against diseases, this consequently leads to a longer life.
