Love hurts? So does a wounded marriage - Yahoo! News

At least Sandy and I will be able to blame each other when our health goes bad. And if there's nothing else I've learned from marriage, it's that nothing else is quite so important as apportioning blame.

Love hurts? So does a wounded marriage - Yahoo! News:

The stress that comes from discord appears to slow the initial production of a blood protein that is key to healing wounds, the report from Ohio State University said.

"Couples who demonstrated consistently higher levels of hostile behaviors ... healed at 60 percent of the rate of low-hostile couples," said the report published in the December issue of the Archives of General Psychiatry."
