Coming home to a loving spouse and a good marriage helps working women shake off the stress of the day, new research confirms. Men, on the other hand, often drop their stress at the door when they come home, regardless of the state of their union, reported psychology researchers. Researchers at the University of California, Los Angeles, followed 30 married, parenting couples, with each partner employed in full-time jobs. Over a three-day period, each of the 60 spouses completed a single survey about their satisfaction with their marriage and twice-daily questionnaires about their day. The researchers also took saliva samples four times a day (early morning, late morning, afternoon and evening) to test for cortisol, a hormone released by the body under stress.
