Does Marriage Make You Sick?
December 8th, 2007 by GiGi
Studies from the Univerity of Chicago and Duke University show that people who had a disruption of marriage, like divorce or death, were in worse health than those who remained married. The quality of the marriage was also important to good health, with people in poor marriages in worse health than those in good marriages.The physical risks of chronic stress have been linked to a higher incidence of all sorts of diseases. The stresses and trauma of a divorce can affect health over long periods.
Obviously maintaining good healthy relationships are fundamental to our health. In my household it’s fundamental to everyone else’s health too. After all, if I’m not happy - ain’t nobody happy.
