A bad marriage could make you sick

The Chicago Sun-Times reports:
Unhappy couples sometimes say their spouse makes them sick. As it turns out, they may be right.

Bad marriages can be detrimental to one's health -- especially, new research shows, as aggravated couples age.

The study, financially supported by the federal National Institute on Aging, reports that marital strain is a key source of stress, which can affect one's immune system. But unhappiness also affects people's opinion of how healthy they are.
Nothing shocking here.
