Weight increase after marriage is a fact!

Marriage is a beautiful thing and which everyone looks forward to. Months and sometimes years of preparations are invested for this special day. Finally, when the day arrives, everything seems to go by so fast. After the reception is over, the newlyweds leave to their special honeymoon place. As newly weds, everything is sweet, beautiful and very romantic. Life styles drastically change, adopting a new sense of urgency and priorities, the newlyweds typically change their goals and unconsciously, their physical appearance.

As researchers have been able to prove with multiple studies, married people have at least a 63% of becoming fat during the first 3 years of marriage. Why do we get fat in the first years?   Multiple studies have been able to pinpoint changes in life styles to the main reason of married people gaining weight.

During a study performed at the University of North Carolina (UNC) a total of 6,936 married individuals admitted to a lack of use on their gym membership just months after getting married. The same individuals admitted to have gained at least 15 lbs. during the first 2 years of marriage.

As priorities change after marriage, sitting at the family table for breakfast and dinner is a MUST, leaving very little time for physical/extracurricular activities outside of the house. Also other studies demonstrate a slight weight-loss for newlyweds that decide to become parents in the early years of the marriage. The physical activities associated with raising a child can very much be the cause of a weight decline.

How dangerous is weight increase in a relationship?   This is a taboo question since marriage supposed to be a commitment for the good and bad. However, in a recent study by Obesity it is very clear that weight can cause a serious dent to a stable relationship.

The top three problems that come out of weight increase during marriage are;   

#1 - Infidelity

As one of the partners in a relationship begins to swell up, the other partner becomes aware of the physical changes taking place. Buying bigger size cloths, spending more money in food are just some of the new tactics obese individuals might utilize to satisfy their needs.

When one of the partners reaches the obese tag, the other begins to have their doubts and can easily become attracted to someone else with a better physical appearance.

Obese men, may be more likely to have marital problems because their wives may be pressuring them to lose weight; such pressure may lead to hostility and conflict  

#2 - Money

Gaining weight usually comes after spending more money at the market, or eating out. And when newlyweds become more comfortable with each other, it's really hard to focus or spend time on something as enduring as going to the gym. It's easier to go to the local Ice Cream store and eat a banana split together then go back home to bed.

Weight increase can also cause a health insurance to increase premiums due to frequency of utilization. During the first two years of marriages, husbands and wives tend to exercise less and eat more but only husbands gained weight

#3 - Health

Weight increase is a recipe for disaster in the human body. There is nothing good that comes out of packing extra pounds. Higher cholesterol might indicate a stroke, diabetes, anemia, etc. All of this potential health issue can very well be related to weight and partners may suffer the frustration of suffering any of these symptoms and perhaps pressure from the other partner to shed some pounds.   In conclusion, marriage is a beautiful thing and weight should NOT be the reason to think twice about committing. However, these studies provide information to individuals getting ready for the big jump on how to approach life after marriage to avoid becoming another FAT static when it comes to weight increase before and after marriage.

Even though there are many other things to focus when it comes to marriage, the physical appearance is very important to keep the relationship steady and steamy!
