Study: Marriage Makes People Sick

<snip>

MARRIED couples who constantly argue risk damaging their health, according to a new study.

The study, published in the Archives of General Psychiatry, found that marital rows can prolong the time it takes the body to heal itself after an injury.
One argument alone can slow the healing process by a day.

And it claims that when married couples feel consistently hostile towards one another, the delay in the healing process can be doubled.
