How long have you establish a relationship with a lover? How is the quality of relationships that form, whether to have the certainty or are still looking for certainty to be able to share life together? According to research conducted by the American Psychological Association, couples who are not sure of the quality of relationships formed, more prone to heart problems than couples who chose sure to share your life together.
How is this study done? American Psychological Association conducted a survey involving respondents aged 18-60 years old. They were then asked to tell about the relationships created with his partner. How confident are they of interactions with the relationship. After that they observed the pattern of his life to see the health status owned.
"It turned out that couples who are not sure do have the quality of health is not good. They more often suffer from high blood pressure, colitis, pain throughout the body. Even many who suffered heart problems and stroke, "said Lachlan A. McWilliams, a clinical psychologist who is also assistant professor at Acadia University, Canada. Williams is also directly involved in the study mentions the Journal Health Psychology already contains the results of his research.
Williams's interest to examine the quality of relationships with physical health actually begins when a previous research outlining, comfort someone in a relationship with her partner have relevance to how often respondents experienced headaches.
Williams was then wondering how the quality of relationships affect one's overall physical condition. "I and the team was shocked when reading the results of the study, that the quality of relationships also affect the performance of our cardiovascular system."
In this study, respondents were divided into couples who believe in the seriousness of the relationship that is created and was not sure. The meaning of confidence in the seriousness of the relationship is to feel comfortable with your partner and increasingly bring the relationship on a better level of seriousness.
While feeling unsure of just creating a circular dependency relationships with one another and do not have the courage to bind themselves in a more serious commitment. Respondents were also asked to tell a history of pain they felt ranging from headaches, chest pain and back, until if ever had a heart attack or stroke.
Feelings are unsure or uncomfortable in the relationship created by McWilliams not mean pasanga not love each other, just that they do not understand how to optimize the quality of relationships are created. This situation is then a factor emergence of a set of psychosomatic symptoms, which in turn affect health status.
"And if observed his lifestyle, the respondents were not sure the relationship will run away with unhealthy lifestyles such as smoking and drinking alcohol. The goal is only one, to transfer the feelings are not convinced by creating new habits. "
So what can be done to overcome this situation? McWilliams advised the couple to attend counseling with each other so can openly discuss what became an objective of the relationships being built.
