A new study finds that spouses who fight with each other live longer. Really?
  • Can't unring the bell

    When you fight, you're still responsible for what you say. If you fight just to win, just to get over, you'll say ANYTHING. That can be fatal to a relationship.

    As Carson McCullers observed, you can tell your beloved "I love you" a thousand times, and he will still doubt you. But if you say "I hate you" just once, he'll believe it forever.

    Then the question may be whether you'll live longer as a married person or a divorced person.
