Well-educated wife is good for the heart

MARRYING a well-educated woman is good for a man’s heart, researchers have found.

It’s not the knowledge of ancient Greek texts or a grasp of quantum physics that warms men’s cockles, rather that a woman’s health-promoting habits often extend to her partner.

Norwegian researchers studied 20,000 married men over a 15-year period and concluded that those wed to worldlier women had a lower risk of heart disease.
