Not being alone is a huge thing. A friend's MIL lived alone for years and she had lots of interactions with her family, etc but was obviously losing her memory. She finally went to a retirement community and it was pretty amazing how much her memory improved.

Exactly. I'm sure this has nothing to do with being married and everything to do with having a partner/not being alone.

Exactly, having something worth remembering plays a huge roll. When you’re alone most of the time and everyday feels the same your mind is likely to see most things as useless information.
