Women are more likely than men to suffer damage to their health from being in a strained marriage, research suggests.

US psychologists found wives in tense marriages were prone to risk factors for heart disease, stroke and diabetes.


In comparison, husbands seemed relatively immune from such problems.


Details of the study, based on 276 couples who had been married for an average of 20 years were presented to the American Psychosomatic Society.


Each couple filled out questionnaires designed to assess the good and bad aspects of married life.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - A cheap ingredient used in ice cream, cosmetics and found in breast milk helps protect monkeys against infection with a virus similar to AIDS and might work to protect women against the virus, researchers reported on Wednesday.

The compound, called glycerol monolaurate, or GML, appears to stop inflammation and helps keep away the cells the AIDS virus usually infects, the researchers said.

Morning all.


OK, how the hell do I say this without sounding nasty?


My wife, as well as being a full-time teacher, also does private tuition in the evenings on most days of the week.

Hi ladies,
You know, I frequent the ivillage boards, but never really introduced myself to you all and I apologize! Anyi-who, I am SweetBeauty. I am in my mid 20's, I am a college grad whose happily unemployed.
I am very introverted, however I can have fun. I am very unconventional and love trying new things.
I am single and some-day will marry and give birth to two beautiful children. This fall, I plan to return to school and begin working on a new degree, a degree that's for my benefit, not my profession.

Hope you have a great day with lots of happy feelings.


Happy Bday girl.


Hi!
Ladies it's been a minute since I've been on the board. How's everyone doing?
I am doing well, in fact, I am doing too much soul-searching and here to ask your honest opinions. I have posted this questions on many other ivillage boards-so I am definitely trying to get the opinions and thoughts of others.
I usually don't get entangled in polotical nor religious commentary and tend to roll with persons of all walks of life. I try and find mutual commonality to converse about.
