Happy relationships

How specifically happy and strong marriages might be influencing our actual physical health? Do you believe that a happy and solid relationship can alleviate stress? Our day to day lives as a working mom or wife is very stressful but with a happy marriage which is good in our health, we can recover quickly from stress. We know that stress is associated with more health problems, if you don't learn ways to deal with it.

I believe that our bodies respond to what is happening in our daily lives. This is really true, everytime I have a fight with my husband or misunderstanding, I tend to become weak and feel sick, got a headache, stomach ache, etc. We have this stress hormone cortisol, which normally rises and falls throughout the day, followed different patterns depending on gender and the state of the marriages. But women in less happy marriages rebounded more slowly, indicating that it took them longer to shed workday stress. Women in unhappier marriages also had less variation in cortisol levels throughout the day which links to more health problems.

There are studies found that married men tend to live longer and recovered from illnesses than single ones. My message is, for your well-being, having a good relationship is as important as eating your vegetables and doing your exercise.
