It is said that distance produces mistresses and time kills love. But a recent study shows that the longer men work, the healthier their wives are, and the highest level of health when both husband and wife work, contrary to the traditional view. However, if the wife works more than 40 hours a week, the husband's health will be adversely affected. Next, let's have a look.
The tradition of men working outside and women working inside - that is, the husband working outside and the wife staying at home as a full-time wife - may not be the most healthy family model. According to the Daily Mail, researchers at the University of Texas and Indiana University in Dallas found that the longer a man worked, the healthier his wife would be. The main reason is that the longer a man works, the higher his income may be, so his spouse can enjoy better health. Moreover, if a man's wife is also working full-time, he will have the best level of health.
The University of Texas study was designed to determine the impact of working hours of men and women on the health of their spouses. The research results also show that if a man works long hours, but his wife works short hours every day, or stays at home as a "full-time housewife", the woman's health level will be lower than those of women who work. However, when women work too long and work too much overtime, their husbands' health often suffers.
Dr. Sibyl Kleiner, Ph.D., of the University of Texas, and Dr. Eliza K. Pavalko, Ph.D., of Indiana State University, investigated three major factors that affect the spouse's work, including work income, stress and exercise time. They collected the working time data of their spouses when the subjects were 38 years old. When the subjects reached the age of 40, they would undergo physical examination to determine the health data. The scientists used the relevant equations to calculate the above conclusions.
Dr. Sibyl Kleiner said: "Workers are not independent units, so does your work not only affect you, but also your other family members? We found that if the husband works for a long time every day, it can keep his wife at the best level of health. When we tried to find the reason behind this phenomenon, we found that the main reason may be that the husband's income may bring a seemingly small, but actually very significant difference."
Dr. Kleiner said: "When many studies have tried to study the many cross-cutting links between work and health, they have only grasped one point. For example, some studies are also focused on working hours, but are limited to a certain occupation, such as nurses or civil servants. One of the advantages of our research is that it is national, representative, and has crossed a certain period."
As for the reasons for this impact, She explained: "When we found out through the test why the long working hours of women are bad for the health of their husbands, the results seem to show that this will lead to their husbands' exercise time, which is only 40 hours per week than those of their wives (the normal 5-day 8-hour working system) There are far fewer men. However, we have not found that women can increase their income by working overtime to make their husbands healthier, because although most wives also work full-time, they usually earn less than their husbands. I think if we can achieve more equality between men and women in terms of income, maybe we can see a different family health system. "
The above information shows that men work more overtime and their wives are healthier. Although the expert research results are like this, the editor believes that it is also a good choice to work overtime reasonably and leave more time for two people. After all, companionship is always the ultimate desire of every woman.
