If you notice a lessening attraction to your spouse with your husband gaining weight, how would you bring it up without hurting your relationship? According to a USAtoday.com article, marital weight gain for one or both partners can negatively affect physical intimacy. (A sexless marriage is defined as having it 10 times or less a year.) But here’s some good news… there are ways you can get him to back in shape if you know how to do it right.
Before you approach your husband about his voluntary weight gain, think about his natural eating habits when you were still dating. If he was thin before, he could take your loving concern positively, but it would be unfair to get angry with your man if he was already overweight to begin with.
Less weight = More Sex?
It’s a matter of bringing back that spark back. Your current sex life (or lack of it) accounts for how healthy your marriage is. You can tell him that you want to improve in that area. Do this as delicately as possible and sound like you still desire him. This doesn’t mean that you both have to expect to be reed thin to feel sexy. A healthier weight can really help boost both your libido more. Not only that, your husband gaining weight over time could lead to erectile dysfunction problems. That thought alone should be scary enough for him.
It’s For His Health
Being overweight is not only about bringing sexy back but getting that energy and stamina your husband once had. Once you lose those things, your husband gaining weight can invite other serious illnesses as well. There’s high blood pressure, diabetes and high cholesterol. Just take your pick. You don’t want to lose him before his time.
Say That You’ll Be With Him Every Step of the Way
Of course, you can’t expect to get some changes done without doing a health overhaul yourself. Keep your kitchen free from unhealthy cooking and food choices so it won’t be too hard on your husband to lose the weight. Encourage him by asking him if he wants to go on a diet with you or work out with you so that you can commiserate together. More importantly, celebrate with him whenever you notice even the slightest improvement.
Your husband gaining weight could be one of the many ways to renew your marriage. Just think of the many possibilities! You can get healthier together and bring back that closeness once again. Who knows, you might be get a second honeymoon once you get that spark back…
