We may have heard the phrase "Happy Wife, Happy Life", but a new study has found an even more interesting conclusion.

Previous studies have always shown that spouses can affect each other's health and longevity. However, this study gives us one more reason why women who like to take on more or be at the top should be valued.

A man can benefit from a controlling wife and live longer and healthier.

Controlling women tend to constantly monitor their husbands' health, especially if they have certain problems, such as being overweight, etc.

Women are also healthier in happy marriages and if she likes control, and the husband does not prevent her from having this feeling, the marriage will be happier and the woman healthier. So, as we were saying before: happy woman, happy life.

However, it is important to understand that there is a difference between being in control and "being more in control".

An imposition towards a healthier lifestyle, new ideas, etc. is always healthy in marriage, as is taking the initiative, but dictating what to do / say in certain situations or often expressing in a way imperative, can damage the relationship in the couple.
