Does marriage make men fatter?

Well, nothing else than eating wrong and avoiding exercise can make you fat though, but Marriage as a scenario, can surely contribute factors towards your weight gain. Probably because marriage creates such situations and circumstances for the newlyweds that they forcibly subjected to gain weight. The lifestyle changes entirely and you are bound to do a certain things that you were not doing earlier (before marriage). Such change in daily lifestyle urges men to gain weight and become fatter than earlier. Let us see which are those factors that marriage contributes to weight gain in men.

Frequent eat outs :

Frequent-eat-outs

Once married, a man has to abide by the rules of keeping her woman happy. No matter what may be the cost of it, but he has no other option than to do it, in order to keep his mistress happy all the time. And her happiness of course lies in going out, eating out, watch movies, and spend most of the time with their partner having all that fun that a newlywed couple usually tend to have. This sudden change in lifestyle from less frequent outings to more frequent outings now, after marriage, leads to more consumption of junk and unhealthy food. Even if they are not going out, then all those sweets that were made during your wedding are always lying there to woo you! And no wonder, you have no other option left than to get swayed by the moment of desire!

No time to Exercise :

Well, now that you hardly have time left to do most things, you tend to avoid exercising. Lives become busy than ever. Men have to now handle a string of things within a compact time period. That is, they are preoccupied with their jobs (which they cannot afford to take a toll on, since they have new responsibilities to serve to), then they have to take time out to spend with their partner, they have higher responsibilities such as doing that little marketing, going shopping with their wives, getting various domestic problems fixed such as getting the geyser fixed by a plumber etc. Amidst these responsibilities and duties, they neither have time left for exercising nor do they feel like doing it. When these priorities come in before the others, their exercise schedule has to take a back seat. And to a certain extent, this is fair as well. New people and new responsibilities have to be attended to on priority basis, and till the time other things can wait!

Cooked gifts :

You must be wondering what does this term ‘cooked gifts’ mean. Well, if you are a married man, lucky enough to have a good cook as your wife, then you can well understand this term. This term means refers to those lovely delicious meals, that a wife often makes for her husband to surprise him and treat him with a special supper. Now in this case, when your wife just loves cooking and she keeps preparing new dishes every now and then for her husband, then husbands are of course left with no other option than to have them with all their heart and will. Men have got no other choice in this case. And this again makes them overeat, leading to weight gain.

Less bothered about their appearance :

Well, although men will be men and they will hardly ever admit that they are married, if when approached by a single beautiful woman, but still to a certain extent it is true that they become less bothered about their appearance and their body. While dating a woman, they tend to do all sorts of things to make they look younger and better than ever. But once married, they usually become uncaring about the way they appear, probably because they need not impress anyone anymore. And the one they wished to impress is already hooked to them. So, that’s how it is.

Although these factors are inevitable in general conditions and one cannot escape these factors that contribute towards weight gain in men, still men can work their time out to maintain the shape. So, that is all up to you!.
