[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If one spouse is fit, works out multiple times a week, and eats healthy, while the other never works out, is obese, and avoids most fruits and vegetables, does staying fit count as a contribution to the marriage? Let's assume both people work the same hours, have similar amounts of free time, and are without major health issues.[/quote]

Both extremes are as bad as the other. But both are rooted in mental illness and spouses have an obligation to treat mental illnesses.

Nobody has an obligation to be in shape and skinny.

No accepting your spouses aging body is a form of abuse. [/quote]

Interesting that you consider both to be a form of mental illness. I don’t like extremes. Was raised by one fitness fanatic and hated it so I’m not impressed by people like that now. The other parent wasn’t the opposite but was in the middle. They gradually moved to the other extreme.

I do consider that trying to stay relatively fit and attractive is a contribution to the marriage.[/quote]

There’s lots of research on marathon runner and extreme sports people having mental illness. We know that super skinny people have a mental illness.

And there’s a ton of research, saying people who are obese have trauma in their lives.

Rape victims have a high rate of obesity. [/quote]
