Divorce 'health scars permanent'
Divorce has a lingering, detrimental impact on health that even remarriage cannot fully repair, a study suggests.

A Chicago study involving 8,652 people aged 51 to 61 found divorced people have 20% more chronic illnesses such as cancer than those who never marry.
The figure only drops to 12% for those who remarry, researchers write in the Journal of Health and Social Behaviour.
Dude, it says DIVORCE is bad, not marriage.
That said, it'd be interesting to see a study done on couples that stay married but SHOULD be divorced that hte health effects subsequent.
MIght have just titled the thread SEX to get our interest otherwise. :mrgreen:
That's true - marriage is bad for your mental health :shock:
You have to be married to get divorced and chances are if you're getting divorced your marriage sucked and was unhealthly for you.Quote:

So whats worse for your health? Getting a divorce or not getting it and staying together through it all? Now that would be interesting.
In the final analysis, its always the same:
There are lies
There are damned lies
and then there are statistics. The latter of the 3 can be made to fit anything.
