Heart Disease Study

For the homework on Wednesday I decided to do a little research on employed mothers and I came across this article on CNN health. I read about a similar (or perhaps the same) study in one of Dr. Laura's books. This particular study was done by the American Heart Association and they found that men who stay home and take care of their children have and 82% higher chance of dying from heart disease than their male counterparts that work outside of the home.

But it is totally opposite for women. In this article it said that women with high-demand jobs have three times greater risk for heart disease than women with lower demand jobs, and in Dr. Laura's book she said the study also compared the working mothers to ones that stayed at home if I remember correctly.

I just find it really interesting that men have higher heart disease when they stay home instead of work, and women are exactly the opposite. 

I know that not everyone can have the "ideal" family that is outlined in The Family Proclamation, but I think that this study supports the idea that men are made to be the providers and protectors, and women are made to be the nurturers.

Introduction

Hi my name is Anastasia and I am from Utah. I married a man from here a year and a half ago. This picture is of us at Lagoon! We love going to movies, dancing, and playing video games together. This is my last semester of college and my husband will be graduating next April. Right now we are pretty focused on getting my husband applied to medical school and hopefully that works out for us!

Want to hear a cool story? I took Marriage Prep from Brother Williams my first semester and he challenged the girls to ask a boy out on a date. There was a cute boy in my FHE family that I didn't know at all but I decided to ask him out anyways and I ended up marrying him 8 months later! So we give credit to Brother Williams!
