Dear Curt,
My wife and I lived together for ten years before deciding to get married. We've been married for five years now but I'm starting to wonder if getting married was the right decision. You see, my wife used to weigh 110 lbs, but since we've been married she has put on an extra 15 lbs each year and now weighs over 175lbs. In case you're wondering; no, we still haven't had children.
Of course this is the least of my problems. It seems that since we've been married, oral sex is a thing of the past -- extinct. The sex between us is just as bad. At most, we have it twice a month and I'm embarrassed to say that it is always in the missionary position because I cannot tolerate her weight on top of me. Tell me why in the world do women change after marriage vows? Had I known this was going to happen, I would have remained content with just living together for the rest of our lives.

Here is what Curt in explaining that men don't really know their wives until the marriage, had to say;
"The "chick" you met at the local bookstore becomes a completely different person when she is your girlfriend, the girlfriend becomes a completely different person when she is your fiance, and the fiance becomes the complete opposite once she is your wife. Still don't understand? Ludwig Borne put it best when he said, "A sweetheart is milk, a bride is butter and a wife is cheese."
Now before everyone sends hate mail and death threats, let me add that my theory applies to both genders. To a woman a boyfriend is like wine, a groom is like cocktails and a husband is like flat beer.
A wedding transforms both men and women. For whatever reason, spouses begin to take each other for granted. It is probably because they know that they'll be together until death do us part. Maybe someone should change the vows to until death do us part or until you gain fifty pounds -- whichever comes first. This may sound a little harsh, but it would probably keep the vow exchangers on their toes."You know what came to my mind? This!!!

LOL, get the picture? Unfortunately, women are the most disadvantaged because "our men cannot detach their eyes from their hearts" The two are life companions. Meaning; he will be the first to see you're adding too much weight or becoming way too skinny for his liking.
So recently, I and hubby decided to heed Curt's advice to married couples below;
"Don't be blunt. Instead of saying I want you to lose weight flat out, try something like, It's important that we stay in shape in order to remain healthy, so why don't we start exercising together? After the request is made, follow through. Practise what you preach, join the local gym, go cycling, jogging, or if you are really out of shape, start slowly with morning walks and don't forget to cut down on those nachos. The important thing is that you do the exercises together. Essentially the relationship will become stronger, if not for the physical part then definitely for the time spent together".If your spouse has mentioned your weight more than twice lately or your spouse's weight has crossed your mind more than once recently, why don't you give this advice a thought!
