I'm a little concerned about what I read in this article.
Preliminary results from a survey of married couples suggest that disputing husbands and wives who hold in their anger die earlier than expressive couples.
"When couples get together, one of their main jobs is reconciliation about conflict," said researcher Ernest Harburg, professor emeritus with the University of Michigan School of Public Health and Psychology Department. "Usually nobody is trained to do this. If they have good parents, they can imitate, that's fine, but usually the couple is ignorant about the process of resolving conflict."
Ingrid and I very rarely argue. I mean, hardly ever. Maybe this is bad? Maybe I should start going Ike Turner on her ass for the sake of life-longevity.
Ingrid: "Why are you doing this?!! Why are you being this way?!!"
Me: "Because I love you. It's for our health!"
