A person’s current marital status and past marital losses may be related to their survival odds after a stroke, a new study suggests.

U.S. researchers followed stroke survivors for an average of five years after the event and found those who were never married, remarried, divorced or widowed had significantly higher risks of dying compared to those who had a long-term stable marriage.

Losing two or more marriages to death or divorce raised the odds of mortality after stroke still higher, though never-marrieds had the highest risk of all.

The holidays for some is a magical time of drinking mulled wine while wrapping presents to the tinklings of festive music. For others, it conjures of images of juggling divorced families, running around on Christmas Eve to find the exact Ninja Turtle your child wants, and overspending on your credit card—all combined with the impact of overeating and drinking.

If you’re leaning towards the latter, the festive season can have a negative impact upon your relationship and you could end up as one of the statistics of people who call a marriage counselor after the holidays.
