Here's one for spouse's and PTSD. I don't have PTSD but I have Anthony and I have my two beautiful burmese cats - one male and one female. They are often a bit of support when we are having a rough time here at home. When I was pregnant with Alexander, Baloo (my male cat) would often come and sleep next to my tummy. When we brought bubby home, if he started crying Baloo would wait outside his door until we got to him. I too can vouch for the stress relieving talents and love of animals. So I guess that makes them universal stress relievers for those with PTSD and their support people!
