Couples in【B1】______ marriages take longer than the happily married to heal from all kinds of wounds, from minor scrapes or【B2】______ injuries to major surgery, suggests a study over the weekend. And the health toll taken by a stressful job seems to be【B3】______ when the worker has a pleasurable home life.

In the wound healing study, 42 couples agreed to let researchers use a suction【B5】______ to create several minor blister wounds on their skin in two【B6】______ about two months apart. The first time, couples were told to discuss a【B7】______ topic; the next time they were given half an hour to【B8】______ an issue or two on which they disagreed. Their discussions were monitored. Researchers also【B9】______. The outcome: "Even a simple discussion of a disagreement slows wound healing," says psychologist Janice Kiecolt-Glaser, who did the study with co-author Ronald Glaser of Ohio State University College of Medicine. Overall,【B10】______. Hostile couples—peppering both discussions with criticism, sarcasm and put-downs—healed the slowest. It took them 40% longer, or two more days, to heal, and they also produced less of the proteins linked to healing.【B11】______, Kiecolt-Glaser adds. "Such stress before surgery matters greatly," she says, and the effect could apply to healing from any injury.
