Men after you marry how important is it that your wife keep up with herself and looks?

Answer 1

Very important - but mostly for the woman.

I didn't marry a body - I married a person. I don't really care unless she is becoming unhealthy.

But... in my experience you women DO care about what you look like - so getting into good habits especially with exercise and food will hold you in good stead when the bbs come.

Answer 2

My wife is very pretty to me. However I did not marry her for her looks. I married her for the person that she is. Other than life threatening or hygienic changes, I wouldn't care. If my wife gains weight, so what? If she has a bad day (like we all do) and forgets about her hair, again so what? She has never been one to wear makeup, so that isn't an issue. We must be doing something right, as we have been married for almost 16 years with no cheating, no serious fights and no set backs.

Answer 3

i am a woman and im gonna answer this one Yes it is important for the woman to do this but remember a marriage is 50/50 not 90/10 so if its dinner that needs to be cook and u get there early start it if the kids got home and u make it there first start helping out. and the laundry . But also dont forget that u men grow the beer belly's and get a little wider and now lets not for get u get to loosing that hair at an early age. so lets just remember we also like how yall looked in the beginning of the marriage nice 6 pack pretty white teeth all ur hair! but u dont see us making that big big deal out of it. so just remember help us out at times a marriage is 50/50 the women i know this day and age walk on side ov their husband and not behind him!

Answer 4

I'm not a man but I think it's very important for the wife to keep herself up. It's just as important for the man to keep himself up, too. Agree?

Answer 5

The best way I can describe it is with something else. He buys a new car, nice and shiny paint, lots of chrome, smells nice, purrs like a kitten. He wants that to stay that way OVER one which is dull, dented, rust is showing thru, squeeky, groans, complains when he starts it -(if it will start with alot of coaxing), the interior smells like something died but he has to live with it because he signed some paper to keep up the payments.
For you I could use the same analogy and add on the cars pops and backfires and spews abnoxious gases out the tail pipe when you are with friends.

So, it does matter....for both of ya....out of respect for each other.

Answer 6

Okay, not a man but I think it is very important. I don't mean this as shallow. I am educated, fairly smart, have a great job, lived for years as a single mom by choice and recently got remarried. I believe that woman have rights but I also believe that they have some obligations too. One of those obligations is to take care of yourself, for yourself and for the person that you share your life with. I expect the same from him. I also believe that there are so many positive ways to encourage this, from thanking them for being the sort of someone who believes that it is important to take care of themselves; sometimes that can be a preemptive strike on the situation. Getting involve together in exercise programs together, etc... My husband blesses my beauty spending...hair salons, manicures and pedicures! He says "Girls need it along with chocolate!" Showing interest, being encouraging and being positively involved makes a difference. But take notice....how you put things and your approach can make all the difference!

Answer 7

sad to say that this is true. The saddess thing to find out is that you do age. One day you wake up and your not hot but, find out you are old. So, what then. It goes both ways. Fat. Ha Ha. You can always lose weight and WoW Your Hot AGAIN> Old you can get your face pulled up and you **** done then what you still look old. So, Does it really matter? What ever happend to Love for Love. Looks sounds like sex then what??? Love for Love will last no matter what. Think about it.

Answer 8

I think it's important that both stay fit and healthy...I have to admit since I've gotten married I have gained a pound or two b/c I've just become too comfortable...

Tired from working then coming home to cook/clean/ or whatever it can be can take it's toll on our bodies.,.

Answer 9

I think what's important is that the husband not have ridiculous expectations, and not bug his wife about "keeping up with herself and looks." She'll resent him for it.

Answer 10

Whats good for the gander is good for the goose, so if us ladies have to keep up our looks, then so do you guys. Nothing worse than a male with a beer gut, so off to the gym you go guys and get those muscles bulging.
