There is evidence to show that
constant bickering with your partner is stressful, and therefore a health
hazard.
Another school of thought is that
bickering can actually make couples healthier.
One take on this is that the
bickering relieves stress; today I heard a snippet on the radio that said that
the body’s immune system reacts to bickering the way it would to a threat, and
ramps up.
If that’s the case, I know
couples who should never have been sick a day in their lives.
(My take is that some
bickering is inevitable unless your partner is a clone of you. But constant
bickering is indeed stressful, and you should get outside help if that’s what
you’re doing.)
