Don't Look Back in Anger
The road to "happily ever after" is paved with many disagreements. Unfortunately, new studies have found that a few "harmless" fights here and there may not be so harmless after all. Depending on how you react to anger, those fights might be killing you.
New studies have shown serious evidence that releasing your anger in a fight can help you live longer. On the flip side, stifling your feelings and giving your guy the silent treatment can actually bring about an earlier death!
The most recent study surveyed 192 married couples, ages 35-69, over 17 years. Of the couples who suppressed their anger in fights, 23% were dead by the end of the study. However, of the rest of the couples (all of which had at least one partner who expressed anger in a fight), only 6% died during the study.
