42、fe thats ever been done. For 75 years, weve tracked the lives of 724 men, year after year, to find out one thing: What keeps us healthy and happy as we go through life? To get the clearest picture of these lives, we dont just send them questionnaires. We interview them in their living rooms. We get

43、their medical records from their doctors. We draw their blood, we scan their brains, and we talk to their children. We videotape them talking with their families about their deepest concerns. So what have we learned? Well, the lessons arent about wealth or fame or working harder and harder. The clea

44、rest message that we get from this 75-year study is this: Good relationships keep us happier and healthier. Weve learned three big lessons about relationships. The first is that social connections are really good for us. People who are more socially connected to family, to friends, to community, are

45、 happier, theyre physically healthier, and they live longer than people who are less well connected. And the experience of loneliness turns out to be bad. People who are more isolated than they want to be from others find that they are less happy, their health declines earlier in midlife. And we kno

46、w that you can be lonely in a crowd and you can be lonely in a marriage, so the second big lesson that we learned is that its not just the number of friends you have, and its not whether or not youre in a committed relationship, but its the quality of your close relationships that matters. High-conf

47、lict marriages, for example, without much affection, turn out to be very bad for our health, perhaps worse than getting divorced. And good, close relationships seem to shelter us from some of the hardship of getting old. Our most happily partnered men and women reported, in their 80s, that on the da

48、ys when they had more physical pain, their mood stayed just as happy. And the third big lesson that we learned about relationships and our health is that good relationships dont just protect our bodies, they protect our brains. And those good relationships, they dont have to be smooth all the time.

49、Some of the couples in their 80s or 90s could quarrel with each other day in and day out,19but as long as they felt that they could really count on the other when the going got tough, those quarrels didnt do huge harm on their memories. So this message, that good, close relationships are good for our health and well-being, this is wisdom thats as old as the hills. 16.
