Describe the health of divorced people as compared with those who are unhappily married.
What will be an ideal response?
Responses will vary; Divorced people actually experience better health than those who are unhappily married. Unhappily married people often experience great harm due to marital conflict. The conflict causes physical damage due to the anger that occurs during the conflict. There is an increase in blood pressure, and over time, there can be a reduction in immune system function. Marital dissatisfaction also has an impact on mental health. Divorce can also compromise health, which is seen at its greatest effect the first year after the divorce. However, being away from the continual conflict is actually a health benefit.
