NikolaiFarkoff: Who names their daughter Stress?

The ones who think "Patience" is a misnomer.

Those who have an unhappy marriage beat their wives better than singles...

Who names their daughter Stress?

It's a family name.

Those who have an unhappy marriage beat off as much as singles.

What? No obvious tag?

The break-up of a marriage, however, has the opposite effect, with women who divorce being 50 percent more likely to develop heart disease in later life than those who stay married.

Wimps.

marriage is an institution made popular by the trauma induced by the holocaust.

FTFY

NallTWD: What? No obvious tag?

That's what I came here to say.

Nibbled to death by gerbils
"marriage is an institution made popular by the trauma induced by the holocaust."

Isn't it a little early for that kind of psychotic rambling?

Excellent use of quizzical dog.

Null?

What is this "happy marriage" you speak of?

Sorry all you catholic priests, but maybe an alter boy can help?

Can we stop with the Earth Times links? Or should I start submitting crap from the Weekly World News in hopes of it getting greenlit?

As the male spouse in a happy marriage I am also getting a kick out of these replies.

Those who have a happy marriage are less likely to be ethnically cleansed than singles.

Look! Up in the sky! The Hitler-signal!

As an author of hypothetical books I am also getting a kick out of these replies.

/hello bandwagon!

This study was based on an analysis of 400 nurses. So, wouldn't it be more accurate to say:
"Nurses who have a happy marriage beat stress better than singles"

Which makes for a biased sample, particularly with respect to gender.

I'm not saying the hypothesis is wrong, just poorly proven.

Companionship is overrated…I live in my head and I am only a little bat shiat crazy…as apposed to living with someone who is bat shiat crazy and getting very little head.

techmom: One of these days I'm gonna hafta update my profile with a list of my favourite Farkers - and you'll be #1. ;)

I thought I had you on there, but on second check guess not. Gonna fix that today.


/don't hate us because we're fulfilled

Well you and I might get filled, but remember not everyone is into that sorta thing. ;)

As a male who will be in what promises to be a happy marriage this summer, I have nothing useful to contribute to the discussion, but I am getting a kick out of these replies...and I am contributing to the discussion.

A russian proverb my uncle told me once: A married man is miserable when he comes home from work to his wife, a single man is miserable all the time...

Marriage? pffft.
They mean

Those who fark a lot beat stress better than singles who masturbate.

stress management has nothing to do with marital status.

what a junk "study" by some drunk frat kids, obviously.

Linoleum_Blownapart: it's for the gifts she'll bring to your life.

Much like naming your children "Damnit," & "Lil' Shiat." Because then you really don't have to think too hard about what their real names are when livid.

As the male and female spouse in a happy marraige...
...wait, thats not going to work.
oh well.

/sore bum and hairy palms?

What? can't something good come from the mass genocide of a race? Hitler was a good leader you know just a bit misguided

Marriage is great, until it isn't. And then it really, really blows.

Got my starter marriage out of the way already, and I'm not even 30. Ah well, at least I'm still youngish.

I want to get it right first time when I get married. Getting to know a new guy takes far too long. Plus now I find out I'll have a heart attack if I make a mistake. I think I'll become a lesbian and go after Portia de Rossi.

Fark marriage thread!

All aboard the Bitter Bus!

that sounds bagel bumpalicious

"Obvious" tag must be a divorcee.

If there were no benefits to a happy marriage, people wouldn't still be trying to get into them.

Ha! reminds me of one of my favorite quotes:

"My advice to you is to get married. If you find a good wife you'll be happy; if not you'll become a philosopher."
-- Socrates

We try to have our biatchfests before we go to the gym. The constructive pissiness makes me bike faster.

Linoleum_Blownapart: reminding yourself to have patience for when the kid is determined to lick the door hinges, or stick her face in the hot radiator, or grab the stereo wires and pull, and the only thing that distracts her from these things is her need to stick her fingers into the cats eyes.

You've met my toddler then???

Grrard: I think I'll become a lesbian and go after Portia de Rossi.

Seeing the hits on your profile go up any since that??

/ashamed to be one of the hits
//well, no, not really....

Stressed-out parents ... are making their children unhappy. Fathers' stress levels are a particularly powerful influence...

I don't know about the accuracy of the study, but I can personally vouch for this statement. I started a new job about two months ago and was under quite a bit of stress as I came up to speed. Almost instantly I noticed my kids, all three of them, acting up alot more than usual. Kids definitely feed off parent's stress (or any other emotion for that matter). Kids are an excellent barometer of an adults emotional state/well-being.

Happy marriage here, too. It's difficult sometimes, don't get me wrong. But life is difficult, too, so things are just better if you have someone to plow through it all with you.

Nothing beats the feeling that, no matter what happens, someone has your back.

Grrard: I think I'll become a lesbian and go after Portia de Rossi.

Yes, yes, a thousand times yes!

I'll see if I can talk my wife into batting for her team just for one night. :)

It bares repeating;

/obvious?
