Men who married a type A women were much moe likely to have a heart attack. Men who were type B but who married type A women were the most likely. Men who married less educated women did very well. I told my friend who is engaged to a very productive and probably somewhat workaholic women about this and his reaction was she was worth a heart attack. In Malachowitz's book on Workaholics, it was found marriages between workaholic men and non-workaholic women worked much better than those betwen workaholic women and non-workaholic men. These may and probably are due to various stereotypes in this society about acceptable masculine behavior and performance and not necessarily based on any "intrinisic" difference.
