Is being married fattening? I was listening to the radio one morning while driving to the grocery store and they were asking this question. One guy said he went from 175 lbs while dating to 250 lbs. Of course this also pertains to women. Before marriage and after pregnancy, many women put on weight or put on a lot of weight! It’s no wonder that obesity and its related health problems is a huge problem in North America these days. Plus these added health costs put on strain on the medical system financially and resource-wise. Also, don’t forget the stress on family members!
I guess the reasons for marriage being fattening are that a lot of married people figure that now that they are married they do not have to impress their spouse any longer, they may use ‘being busy’ as an excuse or family their weekend get-togethers with plenty of food. Unfortunately this is the wrong approach to take. If you are happily married, being obese can prematurely shorten your marriage. Do you want that?
But being married doesn’t have to be fattening. Since you have a life-long partner, why not exercise together? It’s a fun and enjoyable way to get fit and stay in shape. Many gyms also offer lower fees for couples or family members. You can also do a lot of exercise activities together outside.
Currently marriage is fattening, but it shouldn’t be. Exercising and staying in shape should be done before and after marriage.
