People use the heart as a metaphor for love and affection but it runs out that a good relationship can have a positive effect on your literal heart as well.
A study by the European Society of Cardiology suggested that marriage reduces the risk of having a heart attack in people who identify as women at all ages.
Researchers found that the reason behind the result likely come from the fact that having a partner can encourage you to look after your overall health,and that married people have someone who would encourage them to go to the doctor.
