You may have heard that marriage/relationship can bring better physical and psychological health.
But here's the fine print: People in unhappy marriage/relationships don't seem to get those benefits. In fact, their rocky relationship may make them less healthy.
A 2005 study showed that staying in an unsatisfying marriage/relationship may raise stress and worsen health. Another study showed that people in close yet negative relationships are more likely to get heart disease.
That doesn't prove that a good marriage/relationship makes you healthy or that a bad marriage/relationship makes you sick. But there's no question -- a bad marriage/relationship isn't good for you. Fortunately, there are measures you and your partner can take to bolster the chance your marriage/relationship will grow and thrive no matter what life throws your way.

But, she says, there is hope for most couples, even if they have years of hurt and resentment. Here are some of the things you can do to help you and your partner get beyond those painful times in your relationship.
