Wives become less stressed after their husbands die, study finds
Marriage has long been thought to be beneficial, in sickness and in health.
But a new study suggests that widows actually suffer less stress and frailty than wives whose husbands are still alive.
The findings are in contrast to previous research which showed marriage has a protective effect on health, lowering the risk of a heart attack, depression and increasing the chance of surviving from cancer.
The new study, by the University of Padova, found that while men suffer negative consequences when their wife dies – because they rely more heavily on their spouse - women appear to get healthier.
A former 40 year Atheist analyzes Atheism, without resorting to theism, deism, or fantasy.

If we say that the sane can be coaxed and persuaded to rationality, and we say that rationality presupposes logic, then what can we say of those who actively reject logic?

Atheists have an obligation to give reasons in the form of logic and evidence for rejecting Theist theories.

More Science Unsettled
Marriage is not that good for women. Feminists will applaud this finding, no doubt.
