Turns out that is very much the case, according to a new study.

Olga Stavrova, the study's author at Tilburg University in the Netherlands, notes that spousal satisfaction affected mortality.
"People who have a happy, active spouse, for example, are likely to have an active lifestyle themselves," says Stavrova, adding, "If your partner is depressed and wants to spend the evening eating chips in front of the TV — that's how your evening will probably end up looking, as well."
