As if we didn’t have enough bad marriage news today, it turns out that getting married will really affect how you look.

According to scientists at Ohio State University, marriage and divorce act as “weight shocks,” causing women to gain more weight after marriage. The study followed 10,000 couples from 1986 to 2008 and found that women gain weight because, after the wedding, their roles in the house increase so much that they don’t have time for exercise and physical activities. Men, however, get better because they stop eating popcorn, fast food and beer all day while the woman makes sure they eat healthier for a change.

Then, after divorce, men go back to their ways and gain weight. So, expect the wife to get fat while the husband looks more attractive, then goes off and cheats, causing the divorce where the man gets fat again. Isn’t it a happy union?!
