The University of Tennessee just released the findings from a study which ties marital bliss to body fat on Thursday afternoon and the campus said it is already getting hit with calls from National Media outlets all wanting to know the story behind it.
Researchers found couples were more satisfied when their wives were thinner than their husbands.
The researchers followed 169 newlywed couples for four years. Right after the couples' weddings, UT made note of their individual heights and weights.

Study makes sense to me. I know I feel better about myself when I've taken off some pounds. When I put the weight back on, there's a lot of misery and self-loathing around the homestead.
This is probably true in respect to what sandy said. Most women are happier when they are skinnier and a happy wife makes for a happy marriage. Self esteem makes a huge difference in attitudes and intimacy.
As i was reading this, Fat Bottom Girls popped up on my Ipod....Coincidence?!?! I think not....
Honestly? They followed the couples for four years and determined in that short time what makes a happy marriage? Is 4 years the benchmark now? Yikes.
Dang, I'm sorry I missed your comment L4F.
I love a good "deletable" comment.
"It's relative weight that matters, not absolute weight."
Neither need be skinny. But the guy must be fatter than the girl. Good news for fast food.
Happier for who?
lol this story makes me laugh! so because a husband weighs 7lb more than his wife, is that the same? lol
THE WIFE MUST BE SKINNY???!!!
Yeah! Every wife loves a 230 lb. SOB on top!!!
Why should HE be the one that's happy??? What about HER???!!
MrDockerysLady09: 7lb? A couple of double bacon cheeseburgers of pure happiness.
Some truth to this - my wife always said if she reached my weight (even during pregnancy) it would kill her.
