			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Earlier this week, the University of Michigan released a marriage study that says <a href="http://www.usatoday.com/news/health/2008-01-24-marriage-study_N.htm">fighting with your spouse can be good for you</a>.  The report advocates not letting anger bottle up inside.  It&#8217;s careful not to advocate physical violence.</p>
<p>How healthy can it be:</p>
<ul>
<li>&#8220;The anger-suppressing couples were nearly five times more likely to both be dead 17 years later, the study found.&#8221;</li>
<li>&#8220;one death was recorded in half the couples who suppressed their anger, whereas only 26% of the other couples suffered from the death of a spouse.&#8221;</li>
</ul>
<p>Before you take this too far, there&#8217;s a huge disclaimer:</p>
<blockquote><p>It was carried out in a small, predominantly white and middle class town in Michigan and most of the women were &#8220;housewives&#8221; born before the sexual revolution.</p></blockquote>
<p>Does that strike you as a diverse sample size?  I didn&#8217;t think so.  It makes me want to do a similar short-sighted study so that I can make USA Today.</p>
