Do you Leave Your Wife If She Gained 100 Pounds Of Weight

Being overweight is a very hot topic now, and spouses that have gained 100 pounds or more are steadily on the rise. When your spouse puts on a dramatic amount of weight it will affect a marriage. I am not talking about 20 pounds or so, I am saying if your spouse gained a 100 pounds wound you leave the marriage?

The answer to this question is, if a person gains 100 pounds they are considered morbidly obese and that is not acceptable from a health stand point. This in itself is a huge problem in a marriage because of possible health complications, let alone social stigma. The fact remains that when a person gains an extreme amount of weight, they look different, act different, smell different and behave different. This is a huge problem in a marriage no matter how much you love that person. When a person gains that much weight they have a serious problem and it needs to be addressed.

Slight weight gain in a marriage over time is normal, most couples will put on between ten and twenty pounds as they get older in a marriage, but 100 pounds is excessive. When weight becomes a problem for the other spouse it is time to take action. Excess weight can damage a relationship and destroy a family. When a spouse is overweight it puts the entire family at risk for diabetes, heart attack, high cholesterol, cancer and other weight related issues. It is a problem and should be dealt with and not pushed aside and blame the other spouse for not loving them. To let them be as they are avoiding the problem, is not loving them, the other spouse needs to help them get healthy and not accept the weight gain.

Moral Obligation
It is a moral obligation to look nice for your spouse, it is not acceptable to get married and let yourself go, and this is unfair and unjust in a marriage.

When two people marry they marry in sickness and in health and unless the weight gain is brought on by sickness then there is no excuse. A marriage is not a place to throw in the towel and not care about how one looks or their health. Health is so important especially when kids are involved a morbidly obese parent sets an example to a child and that child is in danger of being obese as well. Should you leave your spouse "no", but what you should do is help your spouse, encourage them to get help, that is what being married is all about!
