妻比夫瘦 Wife is thinner than her husband

The secret of a happy marriage is probably not complicated: as long as the wife is thinner than her husband. A new study points out that if a woman ’s body mass index (BMI) is lower than that of her partner, both partners will be happier and more likely to maintain a happy marriage. Relativity of body weight Researchers from the University of Tennessee selected 169 couples under the age of 35 to fill in the questionnaire every 6 months for 4 years. The study found that men with a higher BMI (weight (kg) divided by height (m) squared) than their wives are happier in marriage; and women with a lower BMI than their husbands are significantly happier than other women. Researchers believe that this is because men generally believe that slim partners are more attractive, and are therefore willing to maintain relationships; slim women will feel that partners still love themselves, are more confident and feel loved, and are therefore happier. Researchers speculate that men pay more attention to their partners' appearance and weight than women, and their husband's dissatisfaction with body shape may appear at the beginning of the marriage, which makes his wife increasingly unhappy. However, the results of the study show that the main influence on the relationship between the couple is relative weight. Women with different body types can have a happy relationship as long as they find a suitable partner. It is not necessary to be slim. Experts also pointed out that men are more capable in marriage, such as income, education, height or weight, which will make women feel more secure and both men and women will be happier.
