Relationship Conflict and Health Outcomes

What the research shows about how relationship conflict affects physical health

The Research

The research on relationship conflict and health outcomes is among the more dramatic findings in the relationship research literature: the cardiovascular, immune, and neuroendocrine responses to relationship conflict that the physiological research documents suggest that the quality of the most intimate relationship has direct health consequences that equal or exceed the health effects of the better-known risk factors like diet and exercise.

The Specific Findings

The specific findings: couples in high-conflict relationships show slower wound healing than couples in low-conflict relationships; couples who manage conflict with criticism, contempt, defensiveness, and stonewalling -- the four horsemen that John Gottman's research identified -- show higher rates of the physiological stress markers associated with immune suppression and cardiovascular risk; and the intervention research shows that reducing the conflict quality through specific skills produces measurable improvements in the physiological markers.
