We have all heard the phrase "happy woman, happy life", but a new study has found that the expression "controlling woman, healthier life" is true.
Previous studies have shown that partners can affect each other's health and longevity. However, this study shows why women who are "dominant" should be evaluated, reports "Life Hacks".
A marriage that lacks happiness can be the best thing for men's health.
It turns out that when men do not have a happy marriage, they have a lower risk of developing diabetes, according to a study led by a sociologist at Michigan State University.
Even if they develop it, they have more opportunities for successful treatment, thanks to their wives.
Hui Liu, lead researcher, said this may be due to the fact that some women constantly monitor their husbands' health, especially if men are in poor health or have diseases such as diabetes, which require frequent monitoring.
However, men may feel unhappy with women who tell them what to do, which they may find "annoying."
Since diabetes is the seventh leading cause of death in the United States, this finding is significant.
The research, which analyzed the survey results from 1,228 married people, aged 57 to 85, over a 5-year period, challenges the assumption that an unhappy marriage equals poor health and a shorter life.
But women are healthier in a marriage where there is happiness.
The same study suggested that the opposite is true for women. A good marriage meant a lower risk of suffering from diabetes 5 years later.
Women may be more sensitive than men to the quality of a relationship and thus are more likely to experience a health improvement from a healthy relationship, the researchers said.
Too much care does more harm than good.
It was observed that excessive control can also create stress in spouses. Many studies have shown that unhappy marriages can be harmful to the body, heart and mind.
And a separate study followed about 10,000 couples, for 11 years, and concluded that those with search partners had a 50% -100% higher risk of early mortality than those who lived quieter lives. /
