According to two different studies, men who marry women who are better looking than they are report being more happy with their marriage - AND, being in a happy marriage reduces your blood pressure.
So, men with high blood pressure - be sure to find yourself a woman who is better lookin' than you. ;-)
Ladies, don't take offense - look at it as a gift of kindness to help them reduce their blood pressure. ;-)
Studies:
From BYU: Happy Marriage = Lower Blood Pressure
From Journal of Family Psychology: Happiness Created by Pairing of Ugly Men and Beautiful Women
UPDATE:
Here is a video clip with a debate about one of these studies, and more regarding men, women, and relationships. Nothing gets resolved, but it is a great illustration of some of the attitudes in the world. In the comments section, be sure to leave feedback about the debate in this video - do you agree with either viewpoint?
