    "A new Swedish study shows that a healthy emotional and sexual relationship can significantly reduce stress at work.
    Ann-Christine Andersson Arntén is a psychology doctoral student from the University of Gothenburg. She conducted a five-year-long study on the effects of partner relations on work stress. Andersson Arntén said that people’s home lives can either help alleviate stress at work or push people over the edge.

    “Either you come home to something that gives you a possibility to rewind and recover or you have a relationship that makes you more troubled,” she told The Local. "

    You really don't need a study to have that conclusion. I work better too when I'm not frustrated. On the other hand I can't wait to go home to get more ! :D

    It does seem like another of these studies from the university of the bleeding obvious, I mean did it really take a study to show that if you are happy at home, have a meaningful and fulfilling relationship which doesn't put you under stress you will work better than if you are in a disfunctional relationship and have to get up early in the morning because there aren't enough hours in the day to hate your partner.

    Their fleshly lust is fulfilled by spiritual intimacy with the Almighty.

    As u may realize, there are limitations to the strength of man. Those "Christians" who try to fuel their devotion with their own inner will strength are wolves in sheeps' skin. Don't confuse them for who they are not.

    Tell that to the thousands of Irish who were raped and beaten in the 50's and 60's and 70's by people their families entrusted them to in order to give them an education. But lets not hijack this thread.

    I would agree that good sex makes people happy - the endorphins etc that are released during the act have that effect.

    lrusso,

    long time no chat... well said, I guess my answer was pretty vague. Please let me clarify - I work in a very fast paced enviornment, ie. 911 calls across the board! Choking patients, CPR, Auto Accidents, Suicides, and believe it or not... Child Birth :) So, getting back to the thread... I work fast and collective the whole time. Much thanks to my Lady in Red. Cherish those you love, their easy on your heart and mind.

    Actually, J S, I agree with you. I can honestly say that, even when I was working, stress was never a major factor in my life. I guess teaching isn't really high stress to begin with, but I knew many who made it so for themselves. The secret is twofold, I think. One, have a cherished and satisfying home environment, and two, do something that you love. I can't imagine having done anything else as a career, and my 35 years, in retrospect, passed in blink. Add in having a committed, long-term marriage, and I think I was successful.
