Married men likelier to survive surgery
Washington D.C. [USA], May 15 (ANI): A team of researchers has discovered that married men are more likely to survive surgery. The study of more than 11,500 adults who had undergone non-heart surgery was carried out. Overall, 7.6 percent of those patients died within two years of having their operation. The study revealed that single men are a third more likely to die within two years of hospital treatment and divorcees have a 76 percent greater risk of post-surgery death than married men or widowers. However, being married has no post-surgery effect for women. "This is the first study to demonstrate the protective effect of marriage across a wide variety of surgical procedures," said researchers from Duke University in North Carolina. The study appears in the Journal of Surgical Research. (ANI)

Conflict in marriage less harmful when dad keeps it constructive

In marriages, conflict is unavoidable. When it explodes in families with children, worried or furious parents may project their anger or withdraw emotionally or physically from their children.

According to a recent study by researchers at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, how parents, particularly men, deal with marital problems can have an impact on their children.
