Psychologists at UCLA have found that happily-joined women recover from the effects of work-related stress faster than less-happily married women. The findings are based on the levels of cortisol, a “stress hormone,” that researchers measured in the saliva of study subjects. Thirty couples participated in the one week study; all the couples had at least two kids, a mortgage and two full-time jobs. (My cortisol level is up just thinking about it.) How blissful the union (or not) didn’t seem to have an effect on the stress hormone patterns in men.
