A Healthy Lifestyle Could also Prevent a Divorce

Following on from last week’s post concerning the benefits of a healthy diet and regular exercise following divorce, this post concerns itself with how maintaining a healthy lifestyle can help to maintain a happy marriage and prevent a divorce.

Now, before  I begin I feel that is important to note that taking regular exercise, eating 5 portions of fruit and veg a day and avoiding unhealthy convenience food will not automatically result in wedded bliss, in fact, the term wedded bliss  is something of a misnomer. Nothing can prevent spouses from occasionally disagreeing or arguing. It is the manner in which spouses address these issues that determines marital success, and individuals that maintain a healthy lifestyle are generally better equipped to resolve their disputes.

This, in no small part, can be attributed to confidence. Healthy individuals tend to be happier and this, in turn, breeds a sense of self-assurance. Confident individuals are less likely to become defensive during an argument and are therefore more inclined to forgive or seek a compromise. When a spouse is lacking in self-confidence, each argument is subconsciously viewed as a battle of wills and they misguidedly become determined to win the argument rather than consider what caused the argument, make any necessary adjustments and forgive and forget. A marriage is certain to be subjected to significant strain if one or both spouses are unable to move on after an argument and this could quite easily lead to an unhappy marriage and divorce.

Secondly, happier individuals are less likely to engage in arguments in the first place. Arguments with our spouses often come about not as a result of our spouse’s actions, but because of external factors such as problems at work, financial issues or other, more general problems. Exercise, it has been proven, is an effective way of dealing with such problems and preventing them from affecting our relationships. Spouses will still argue, of course, but far less often and this will greatly reduce the possibility of marital dissatisfaction and, of course, divorce.

Finally, the role that intimacy plays in a happy marriage cannot be underestimated and it is imperative that each spouse make a reasonable effort to maintain their physical appearance as a result. If one spouse is no longer attracted to the other then they can begin to view the act of lovemaking as a joyless chore. They may even refuse to engage in intimacy whatsoever. I am not suggesting that anyone needs to obtain a supermodel or Adonis’s body – such an aim would not only be impractical, but, in the majority of instances, extremely unhealthy – nor should they try and defy the aging process, all a spouse needs to do is take reasonable care of themselves. Not only will this keep passion present within the marriage, it will also show your spouse how much you respect them.
