Thumbs up Marie Barone is right, it's good for couples to fight! LOL

It's now scientifically agreed upon, Marie Barone, Raymond's mother from Everybody Loves Raymond has been right all these years. It's good for couples to fight!

How many times have you kept your mouth shut instead of letting your emotions out in a tiff with your significant other and then you checked your blood sugars and they were over the roof? Now it's been found as true. Keeping quiet doesn't help anything.

"New research at the University of Michigan shows that hashing out marital disagreements is actually good for your health. It's squelching anger, especially when you feel you've been wronged, that's dangerous.

A study published in January followed 192 married couples in Michigan from 1971 to 1988 and found that those who kept their anger in when unfairly attacked did not live as long as those who expressed their anger, says lead study author Ernest Harburg, Ph.D., an emeritus research scientist at the University of Michigan's School of Public Health and psychology department.

"We're all interested in longevity," says Harburg, who's studied the health effects of spousal sparring for over 30 years. "We watch our diet, we exercise. Now we need to add 'express anger constructively' to that list."

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 story in CNN goes on to talk about ways people fight that isn't healthy and how people should fight.
