CNN – “A happy wife is a happy life!”

We all know the saying.  Now there is a study that may back that up.

Having a happy spouse may boost your physical health, according to a new study published in Health Psychology.

The study found that people with unhappy spouses had more physical ailments.  They also didn’t exercise and rated their own health as poor, compared to those who had a happy partner.

Researchers say for years it has been known that being around happy people can make one happy, but it apparently also makes you healthier.
