hurts so good

The other day I wrote about a study concluding that to be happy, women should downgrade their standards when it comes to physical attractiveness. Now there's another scientific attempt to turn a relationship's lemons into lemonade.

Fighting with your spouse can lengthen your life, according to results of this study. An excerpt:

Women in particular may put their health at risk by holding back during arguments with their spouse, a 10-year study of 4,000 men and women from Framingham, Massachusetts, found. "Women who 'self-silenced' during conflict with their spouse, compared with women who did not, had four times the risk of dying, " according to findings published in 2007 in the journal "Psychosomatic Medicine."

The moral, I guess, is to fight like crazy -- assuming you're not around any guns or sharp objects.

That could have an adverse effect on your longevity.
