Cleary this is a delicate issue, but if your wife is overweight and it’s detrimental to your marriage, then you need to do something about it. Things like suggesting you take over the cooking/shopping can help, but really, the want to get fitter needs to come from her. Make sure your desire for her to lose weight is coming out of genuine love and concern, not just selfish and sexual reasons. If this is how you’re feeling, then you haven’t got a hope in hell of making an impact on her.

Some women find it a lot easier to be in denial because the reality of weight gain is quite hard to bear. However, there are plenty of women out there who are in great shape and want to share it with you. Find them here when the time comes and you simply can’t live with an overweight wife anymore.
