So many marriages go south IMO simply because one partner is simply no longer attracted to the other. If both parties would agree to continue working out throughout their lives, things would be a lot better.

And not only for your partner, you should be in good health regarding the right food and exercise for your own mental and physical health. A healthy mind in a healthy body.

While I agree that staying in shape is important for appearance and health, it is way down the list as the key for a happy marriage. Try being a partner in all aspects of your marriage. Loyalty, unconditional love and respect for each other is much more important than surface physical looks. If you are doing your part in the marriage with finances and helping with children and home, I'm sure that a spouse would have plenty of time and no trouble "working out" with you.

No not really if you love the other person for who they are more then just what they look like or appear to be on the outside. I feel that you love each other unconditionally anyways and looks fade over time anyways... .Yes being physically fit and healthy is a good way to live but that is not the only think that makes a happier marriage.

Staying in shape helps but keeping it alive by caring helps too. So many people think once they are married they don't have to work at it. That is the wrong way to think. Its alot of work but if its important to you, you'll do it. Basically treat the other as you want treated.

A wiseman once said, "If you want to be happy for the rest of your life, don't make a pretty woman your wife, from my personal point of view, get an ugly girl to marry you."

well it doesnt hurt to keep in shape..but that is not the key thing to a happy marriage. You need to keep commuication always open, be honest with each other, laugh with each other, enjoy each others company, and above all forgive there faults and still love them.
