FIRST SIGHT –
YOUNG MAN:
I
beheld this beautiful young figure. The sophistication of her whole being.
The way her dress fits to enhance her gorgeous shape; the hour glass shape
for sure. As I approached her and made eye contact, she smiled and said
hello. I was captured by her face, her smile, her eyes, and her hair and I
immediately fell in love. I knew from the moment I saw her that she would
be my wife and we would live happily ever after.
YOUNG WOMAN:
I looked and
behold this handsome tall clean cut looking young man coming toward me. His
physique was positively impeccable. He walked upright and confident with the
brightest eyes coupled with a great big smile and said to me “hello my name
is Greg.” I was so excited, but all I could say was hello. He asked if we
could go out to dinner and of course I said yes.
After a few
weeks of dating, Greg and Linda were betrothed and then the big wedding day.
THE MARRIAGE BEGAN:
YEAR ONE:
The married
couple is so much in love, going about their daily living; enjoying each
other’s company.
YEAR TWO:
Linda is
pregnant. Greg is happy to share in each day experiences, the mood swings,
the body growth, the uncomfortable days and nights. Finally the babies are
here, twins. Nine months later, Linda is pregnant again. After the nine
months passed by, there were twins again. Greg and Linda now have four
children within a two year period.
LIFE HAPPENS:
Hubby is in the
gym daily and wife is in the kitchen. Wife cannot wear any of her figure
flatting clothes.
“What happened
to my shape?”
“Honey you have
had four babies. Don’t worry, we will work on getting you back in shape.”
“So you think I
am fat!”
“No, I didn’t
say that. I was just letting you know we can work together to get your
figure back.”
“So you don’t
like my figure now?”
“Sweetie, you
are misunderstanding what I am saying.”
“No I
understand, you are thinking about then instead of now!”
These types of scenarios
are real in marriages. There are various situations that can cause weight
gain in spouses male or female. There can be medical conditions, emotional
situations, eating disorders or even eating addictions due to stress. These
all can cause a drastic change in weight.
It is important for couples
to communicate and work together to come to an agreement about any weight
situations. After coming to an agreement, work tirelessly to accomplish the
goal so that each partner is an active participant in the solution. This
agreement cannot be given or done by an outsider because remember you are a
team. The marriage is sustained by the husband and the wife together
honoring their commitment to God and to each other.
