When a married couple has a close, intimate relationship, it provides security that leads to peace in the home. Research shows this calming effect has physical benefits too, such as reducing blood pressure, anxiety, and depression. In this video, Matt and Ariel Holcomb explain why the opposite is also true, as conflict and separation can reduce immunity and cause traumatic health issues.
The Health Benefits of Marriage
Matt and Ariel Holcomb
As a military pilot, Matt Holcomb's job has taken his family across the country and him around the world. With the constant moving, he and his wife, Ariel, used the truths in resources from the Dr. James Dobson Family Institute to ground their marriage and their parenting in the Word of God. In 2021 their time in the military came to an end after almost 15 fantastic years.
Now they are slowly transitioning back to civilian life and plan to settle in West Texas with their two adopted children, Finn and Hazel Grace. As homeschooling parents, Matt and Ariel seek to apply the wisdom they’ve learned through the years so their children will know Christ and make Him known.
