We know that close relationships – like those between married couples – are good for you. You have someone to share your hopes and dreams. You can unburden your problems to someone you trust, someone who will help you get over the hump.
New evidence shows that this positive effect extends to the work place. A California University study revealed that women who text their partners about trivial things, like what’s for supper, and weather updates during office hours are less stressed.
The study focused on 75 couples, separated the men form the women, and checked their stress levels.
The results in favor of relationships which were recently published in the Daily Mail, drew attention once more to the benefits of marriage.
Sure, it’s just a piece of paper, and it can create a lot of stress. But scientific evidence on the benefits of marriage, besides raising well-adjusted children who don’t get into trouble, is mounting. Maggie Gallagher, who co-authors the book The Case for Marriage along with University of Chicago scholar Linda J. Waite, was surprised at seeing a lot of proof to show hat those who are married or are in a relationship with the right person are better off than people who are single, divorced, or separated.
The key lies in a variety of reasons multi-award-winning psychotherapist Dr. Barton Goldsmith enumerated in the list below:
Singles and divorcees may disagree. But scientific evidence shows that it’s better to go through a rough patch with someone you love than riding the storm by your lonesome.
Just refrain from texting or calling your significant other during office hours. Wait for coffee breaks or the lunch hour to say hello via SMS. It will fight the stress daily work deadlines give. It will also prepare you to face the challenging tasks awaiting you for the rest of the day.
