A healthy and happy relationship makes you healthy. Health and happiness go hand in hand. There are connections between people's ability to bond and the illnesses they develop in the course of their lives.

Psychologists distinguish between secure, avoidant and anxious types in relationships. The secure types are generally the healthiest, while people who tend to avoid committed relationships with a partner suffer more from chronic headaches and other chronic illnesses.

People who trust their partner less and constantly worry develop cardiovascular diseases, high blood pressure, ulcers and have an increased risk of suffering a stroke or heart attack.
