after the wedding.

What about wedding vows? Traditional vows read;

I ...... take you ....... to be my wife, to have and to hold from this day forward, for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and to cherish, till death us do part.

These vows mean that you accept your spouse as is and with any changes that come with time, otherwise they would read as;

I, God's gift to women, take you, my hot sexy chick to be my property, to own and to hold as long as my arms fit around your inflating body, from this day forward it's far better for you to accept that I'll get worse. You can work your ass off to make us richer even in sickness. All that matters is my health and you are there to love and cherish me till the day you die....

:D:p;)

Looking at my friends and family that have gotten married, there are very few of the ladies that have not let themselves go. They used to be good looking, but since the day, things have slid.

And I am not only talking about wieght gain, it seems to me that they, (the woman) realised that Daddy would/should no longer support them after matric, and so they set out to find a hubby to support them in the life style they thought they should have.

Looking at the men in this situtation, I can not find one that went "hunting" for a wife to cook, clean and sleep with him. The men I think were blinded by the woman into marriage, and I wonder how many of them would take a do-over and not marry if they had a chance to.

Yeah sure, and men don't get fat and grumpy and spend all of their free time wsatching tv with their feet up. Come on, be realistic and not so blindsighted.

I dont know about the rest of the men, but most of the men, that I feel that their wifes have changed, are much fitted now,or at worst have stayed the same as they where before they got married. Now that that just my say so, and one can make what you want of it.

And lets not go anywhere near the little darling "bubble" children of the corn, that they have produced.
 
It obviously takes effort and self-discipline from both men and women to stay in shape. The difference comes in with the reason why the person wants to stay in shape.

Men mostly exercise 'cause they like a specific sport as a hobby or escape whereas women exercise (usually at a gym) to obtain/uphold an attractive appearance (/insert reason of choice). When married the purpose of exercise loses much of its appeal to women since they now are in a fixed relationship. Men still do sports.

/let the sexism continue
 
Re: original post.

I've got a fairly large family, we are 5 children, 2 sisters and 2 brothers and I.

2 sisters are married, 1 brother is married, 1 is engaged, I am single.

I'll probably be a bit biased saying this, since they are my family and I love them, but both my sisters work hard, they are married to "ordinary" men, who don't get paid much. Both sisters have children with their husbands and they are under 30 years old.

When they married, they knew what they were in for, they knew they married for love and not because their husbands could give them a blissful life of riches.

Same thing with my married brother (who's wife had their second child today, baby girl, beautiful little thing). His wife married him and she knew he would not be Bill Gates, and he isn't.

Don't "generalise" too much in life. There's people out there that truly love one another.

With more forgiveness, gratitude and less assumptions in the world, it can really be an amazing place ;)
 
And what men don't let themselves go after marriage either????? I have seen some do just that while their wives still look if not better before the marriage.

...and I long ago gave up counting the number of stunning women of all ages who, after X years of marriage find themselves married to a fat, ugly, pot-bellied, lazy, unhealthy, unloving mummy's boy who can't grow up and appreciate what a beautiful woman he has as a partner.

There is your answer dumbass.

I don't suppose any of the married men carried children in their bodies for months and months, did they?

By carried do you mean lounging around whining does this couch make my butt look big?
 
Firstly, all those woman who have replied with vigor to my orignal post, would you consider yourselves, to be (a) successfull in the field that you work in, and (b) fairly fit. Now, I wonder if you are willing to think back to the days of school, and remember what your school friends looked like, and what they look like today. How many of them have let themselves go, after getting married? If you could managed to be successfull and keep fairly fit, what is wrong with their lives, that allowed them to slide, while you did not ?
