There are many pressures in modern society. It's a pleasure to have your spouse's support and care around you. A new study published by Yale University School of Public Health in the Journal of Health Psychology shows that men benefit more from marriage than women.
Researcher Professor Joan Moning invited 98 elderly couples to participate in a questionnaire survey to understand their health status, stress and marital relationship. Then, the husband and wife were discussed according to four situations of random distribution, that is, the husband and wife did not care for each other nor support each other; Only the wife gets care and support; Only the husband gets care and support; Both sides have received the care and support of the other side. In the scenario discussion, the researchers monitored the participants' blood pressure and heart rate, and recorded their feelings described. According to the expectation, the blood pressure and heart rate of both husband and wife will drop when taking care of each other, but only the husband feels better when taking care of each other, and the wife feels more intimate when receiving the same degree of care from her husband. b But the heart rate of both husband and wife is rising, and the wife's inner feeling is not good.
Researchers speculate that the above results may be due to the role of traditional concepts and social attributes. Generally speaking, husbands will not feel any pressure when they are taken care of by their wives, because they are accustomed to being taken care of in daily life; Relatively speaking, wives do not want to be taken care of by their husbands, which makes them feel like a woman. Not portable. The new findings will help to plan more effective patient care methods to promote the health of both spouses.
