Happy marriages have health advantages

A preliminary study finds people who said they have a satisfying marriage tend to have lower blood pressure than those who have stressful marriages.

More than 200 couples and a hundred singles took part.

Researchers caution that further study is needed to see how the results translate to long-term health.
