Combining motherhood and full-time employment yields a significant "health burden" for women.

As their findings found greater similarities between mothers who work part-time with women who did not work at all, the researchers suggest that studies that do not differentiate between full- and part-time employment overlook important differences among women.

The analysis also yielded statistically significant correlations between marriage and health among women, but not men. In the most complex interaction model, previously married women (separated, divorced, or widowed) as well as cohabiting women were more likely to report poorer health than married women . Women who never married were also more likely to report poor health, but the association was not statistically significant.

"Success is usually earned by persevering and not becoming discouraged when we encounter challenges.

Paul Harvey, the famous news analyst and author, once said: 'Someday I hope to enjoy enough of what the world calls success so that someone will ask me, What's the secret of it?" I shall say simply this: "I get up when I fall down"
