Re: Is it a fair request spouse to lose weight?
When my husband first met me I had short hair (to my jaws). Once we were engaged, he very quietly and off-hand asked, "Oh, so you're growing out your hair?" And I replied, "Yes, actually I am".
We've been married almost 10 years now and we often, very quietly and offhand ask eachother or tease eachother with a random question. And usually we comply with the suggestion. A sense of humour goes a long way in making a marriage harmonious.
After having 3 babies, he's never once told me to lose weight or that I hadn't gotten back into shape yet. I however, am actively trying to make him gain weight and quit smoking. For the sake of his health.
