A Satirical Look at Married Life
What Role Does Weight Play In Marriage?
Author: MInTheGap
In the Country Song, Hot Mama, Trace Adkins confronts something all marriage relationships go through:
You’re doin’ all you can to get in them old jeans.
You want that body back, you had at seventeen.
Baby, don’t get down; don’t worry ’bout a thing.
‘Cause the way you fill ‘em out, hey, that’s all right with me.
I don’t want the girl you used to be.
An’ if you ain’t noticed, the kids are fast asleep,
We all know that bodies change, they never stay the same. For the wife and mother, this is even more dramatic. It seems that, for nine months, the soon to be mom is putting on weight, and then is expected to lose it all in the first few days after the baby makes its appearance.
Let alone the fact that there’s “sympathy weight” that the man gets, metabolisms going down, less time to get out and work out—it seems only the natural progression that the husband and the wife will put on weight.
But should that effect the relationship, does it?
