Can you take a guess what shopping for a divorce attorney and going up two pant sizes have in common? The failure to commit for better or for worst! Both maintaining a healthy waistline and having a happy marriage require commitment, mutual understanding, and a strong determination to always make it a priority!
Unfortunately, the notion “for better or worst” is failing miserably on both ends with new obesity statistics showing that nearly 2/3rds of adults are at an unhealthy weight. In 2014, more than 1.9 billion adults, 18 years and older, were overweight. Of these over 600 million were obese. On the spectrum of marriage, researchers in the United States estimate that 40-50 % first marriages and 60% in second marriages will end in divorce.
A strong marriage will go beyond the façade of glitzy diamonds, hot date nights, beautiful flourishing kids, whereas a thin waistline will go above and beyond strict diets, starvation, long hours at the gym, and the obsession of feeling inadequate when swimsuit season arrives. For a healthy waistline to ALWAYS STAY, and a MARRIAGE TO GO THE TEST OF TIME, it’s the small simple steps that one DOES IN THEIR EVERY DAY LIFE that will yield a greater percentage for happy results.
