Young newlyweds who are satisfied with their marriage gain weight in the early years, putting them at increased risk for various health problems. The findings suggest that spouses who are satisfied in the marriage are less motivated to attract an alternative partner. As a result, satisfied spouses relax efforts to maintain their weight, report US researchers in the scientific journal Health Psychology.
Previous research has established that marriage is associated with weight gain and divorce with weight loss, but the role of marital satisfaction in those changes in weight is less clear.
