Paging James Westphal and Dr. Kenneth Nosewater

As if figuring out the keys to a successful marriage isn’t confusing enough, the Health section in today’s Post merely obfuscates things further.

First, one article mentions that one way to have cuts heal more quickly is to reduce marital hostility; the article also promotes exercise as another method. It makes complete sense that physical and mental well-being helps wounds heal more quickly.

However, the article adjacent to it tells the story of happily married couples who sleep in separate beds, or even separate room. The article claims that these couples still love each other, still do the no-pants dance, but maintain separate sleeping areas for a variety of reasons – different schedules, snoring, kicking, etc.

Just when I thought I had it all figured out. Speaking of reducing marital discord, I gotta run and put gas in the car.
