Are you married? Read about no-cost care for you and your partner.

Did you know that a healthy relationship is just as good for you as getting a good night’s sleep, eating healthy and not smoking? Research shows that:

• Having an optimistic partner can make you healthier.People who see the bright side of life tend to be happier with their partners. They also put more effort into their relationship.

• A happy marriage works almost like a kind of insurance for major health problems. People in a happy marriage are three times more likely to be alive 15 years after heart bypass surgery. Researchers say there could be many reasons why. The most interesting one is that a happy marriage helps the body fight heart disease.

If you feel your relationship isn’t as healthy as it could be, there’s a lot you can do. You might want to try couples counseling. As many as 8 out of 10 people report that it helps. You can learn important skills, like how to: 

• Disagree without fighting
• Understand each other better 
• Build more trust 

Most health plans offer counseling sessions, but you’re likely to have copays. And the cost can add up. Several sessions could cost you as much as $150, or the price of a pickleball set. 

At MetroPlusHealth, we offer a Gold plan with $0* copays, premiums, deductibles and coinsurance. We believe everyone deserves quality care at a cost you can afford. Learn more about why MetroPlusHealth Gold may be right for you.
