When couples disagree and then shut down and give each other the silent treatment it has been proven to create health problems. Married women who keep silent during marital disputes have a greater chance of dying from heart disease and other conditions than women who speak their minds, research shows. The research, from the mid-1980s to the mid-1990s, was the latest to show that how couples fight affects not only their relationship but their health.And a 2003 study in the journal Archives of General Psychiatry found that after marital spats, blisters generally healed more slowly, a sign that stress interfered with immune system functioning. In hostile couples — those who hurled insults or rolled their eyes when arguing — healing was 60 percent slower than in couples who didn't display antagonistic behaviors, the study showed.
