Happy couples gain weight togeher

Research on the National Center for Biotechnology Information found that couples who report satisfaction in their marriage tend to GAIN weight.

For a period of four years, researchers followed 169 couples on their first marriage. They measured the couples’ weight twice a year, and asked questions about their marital life and overall satisfaction.

The results? People in happy marriages gained a significant amount of weight.

Meanwhile, those who remained slim reported rocky marriages that eventually ended in divorce.
