This week, we wrote about a study that correlated negative health effects with divorcing earlier in life. According to that study, people who divorced in their 30s suffered from more rapid health decline than people who divorced later in life.

However, studies are just generalizations and different individuals cope with different traumas in different ways. For example, House star Olivia Wilde said getting divorced at a young age was not such a bad thing in a recent interview, as it freed up her life and allowed herself to be honest with who she was, reports People.

There have been several divorce health studies recently. Perhaps what is most remarkable about these studies is not the finding that divorcing can result in negative health consequences, but just how serious these health consequences can be.

Last month, we wrote about a study that reported that divorced people had a life expectancy of 11 years less than their married counterparts. This week, another study found that people who divorce in their 30s suffer far greater health effects than people who divorce later in life.

Did a Newt Gingrich open marriage request led to divorce? Newt Gingrich’s second ex-wife, Marianne Gingrich, says that she decided to end the marriage with the presidential hopeful after Newt asked her to have an “open marriage” and share him with the other woman he’s been seeing.

Marianne and Newt Gingrich were married for 18 years when she discovered that her former husband was having an affair with another woman — current wife Callista Gingrich — and that Newt had no plans for calling off the six-year affair, reports Fox News. Instead, Marianna claims that Newt was hoping to have his cake and eat it too.

Divorce death may not be something you considered when deciding whether to leave your spouse. But according to a new University of Arizona review, that may be something you will want to factor into your decision.
