Do you agree if a woman should stay in shape for her husband?


Absolutely! As long as he does the same...
If I'm going to look good and maintain my figure, he better: workout regularly, eat right, and take care of his health as well.
Now if he's harping on me about my figure, yet he's laying on his butt like a sack of potatoes, then I'm going to call him out on his bull. Why should I put effort in for someone that doesn't care about his body?
Actually you know what? I'm staying in shape (and I do) but not for a man: for MYSELF. I lost weight and maintain my figure to be happy and healthy; not for anyone else.
No and here's why.
If you want a woman who would stay in shape for you, then you should go ahead and find someone who is willing to do it, as opposed to just expecting that all women should be doing it because not everyone cares about that, not even a lot of men.
There is nothing wrong with a woman wanting to do it just for you, but it is wrong to expect that every woman would want to go through that. Some of us have other priorities.
Speaking of representation (which is problematic to begin with your wife isn't a trophy to show off), if you are not going to give a woman the resources required to be in shape but instead just expect her to do all the work to look good to make you look good while you're also expecting her to make money, look after the household and pop out multiple kids... I'm afraid that would make you a hypocrite. If it is something that matters so much to you then it's on you to make sure she has access to everything she needs to be in shape. That could mean providing for her so that she can spend her time at gym or pilates instead of doing three jobs and coming home tired. Making sure she can hire a helping hand to look after the babies so that she can recover faster and bounce back. Wearing condoms or getting a vasectomy so that she doesn't have to take pills that could lead to weight gain. Allowing enough budget for food so that she can afford healthy meals. Because yes, if you do everything putting her at a disadvantage health-wise, it will reflect on her appearance and it will reflect back on you for a good reason.
Yes, but healthy for themselves as well it’s important for a women to be physically attractive to there husband of course marriage should be less about the body of the person you are with rather then how you look but it is important to look good for your husband.
that being said Yo men stay attractive to your wife as well. Looks are less important to women then to men. (Because let’s face it all men are ugly) but since women are attracted to men we to have to stay attractive to our wives. Of course like for women doesn’t mean you need to look perfect but keep up your looks stay loyal to your wives and love cherish and that care of your women and she will do the same to you. Keep it romantic even with the small things flowers chocolate take them out show your wife off and make other guys jealous that you have the women you have and they don’t
For herself yeah, not your twisted veiw of respect.
I could see you wanting your partner to stay close in appearance to how they looked when you met, but I wouldn't base the relationship off looks.
If the only thing you care about is her looks that's a shit relationship.
When I exercise it's just for me, not to impress girls, if a girl just likes me cause I'm fit she can fuck off.
Hate to break it to you but no one gives a fuck what your girl looks like, they care about her personality and how she treats you.
No she dosent need to stay a particular shape to "respect" you, she's not just arm candy.

Nah I don't think so. I explained this in a similar question before but overtime everyone's body changes especially due to pregnancies or life stresses. A women's body isn't the reason why a man should marry her. There is more to a woman besides her body and a husband should realize that and know her true beauty is on the inside so what's on the outside shouldn't matter.
@exitseven eh I just don't have that care to look good for my husband. He married me for who I am not how I look. And staying in shape is great if that's what you wanna do but it's not a requirement for marriage
@exitseven nope not at all but then again I was a teen so that's not something that even crossed my mind
@Apple1996 So say a husband and wife decided not to have kids, could her body still change much later on? I'm curious.
@Billybob46 yes obviously since women go through menopause and their bodies can change from that
My guy loves my belly
@Sarahslater3738 okay so you’ll be fat for him and that’s ok but not workout for him how does that work?
A woman should take care of her body and love it for herself not for anyone else. But it will be a perk for her husband if she does 😉
Perfectly said. Everyone wins. 😁
Agreed
You can only call sex a perk once women bring more than that to a relationship🙂
I think the obligation to stay in shape should be mutual. You shold not expect something from your partner that you are not willing to do for her.
The idea of letting yourself go is rooted in ageism and fat phobia. There are many fat people who are extremely active and eat well as well as skinny people like myself who don’t care for what I put in my body and aren’t the most active yet I’ll never be categorized as lazy like fat people are in society?
As your body ages it’s going to break down, it’s not going to work the exact same way it did when you were younger. Part of the breaking down of the human body might involve changes in your hormones which cause your body shape to change.
If your partner simply gaining weight is enough to make you to want to leave them maybe you shouldn’t have been partners in the first place? Seriously
I think it's a nice to have, but not something you can realistically demand given the other priorities both parties should actually be focusing on like:
- bills/ financial stability
- caretaking (children, parents)
- eating healthy
- routine medical check ups for all dependents and self
- maintaining friendships and family relationships etc.
- being happy and well adjusted into society.
It's very easy to blame someone for gaining weight but before ask oneself, am I also eating the same unhealthy food? Is my lifestyle actually healthier than their, or am I just blessed with a better metabolism? I think couples that work on becoming healthier together, more salad, less take out, are much more likely to be successful.
I mean she should certainly try, but obviously so should I.
Like I'm not going to sit around being my lazy ass and then be like "I don't care that you had 9 months in the biological blender. Work out for me!"
Hell, I'll specifically go with her. If I want her to be fit for me, I'll use that specifically as motivation to be fit for her. But I'm not going to hold her to a standard if I myself do not meet it.
Well within reasonable limits. You can't expect to be in the A group at 50 but you don't have to be in the B group either. Husbands would be rating you relative to age cohort so you are not in a comp with 20 yo girls.
I do remember a funny cartoon with the caption "That's the problem with Australian women. After a certain age they let themselves go". This is said by a man with a big beer belly that is sagging down over his trousers.
So it probably goes both ways :)
She should stay in shape for herself. I would say yes for her husband, but also all of her family. We should all stay in shape for the benefit of ourselves and being around for those we care about and those that love us.
And just one more point, I would assume most men want to stay in shape and only for their significant other but for those who care about them. That’s how we both feel in our household
Staying in shape is good for your own health I'm sure the husband will appreciate it.
You’re more mature than a lot of the so called women here
No I dont he should have nothing to do with it.
I would hope that you would want to do it for herself because that's who she is
I mean he can bitch and bark all he wants but it's not his body
And that's not going to make her do anything except for piss her off if he wants her to get in shape then he needs to be a positive influence and help her do it not make her do it that's wrong
YOU WROTE:
... tell me exactly what is wrong with a woman staying in shape just and only for her husband?
ANSWER:
It may not be possible.
Many women's bodies change FOREVER after pregnancy or childbirth because the hormones involved will alter bone structure and metabolism. So, even if a woman could work-out and get in good shape again, if she gave birth vaginally, some parts of her are never going to be the same, period.
i think you should watch your weight for your husband because i mean how you look is super important in a relationship. If he doesn't find you hot anymore it's not that great... But i think it shouldn't just be the girl who has to maintain herself but the dude should also watch himself. I don't think anyone wants a dude with a huge gut or anything like that
I think you should keep yourself in shape because it will make you feel good about yourself and improve the chances of not getting a divorce with your husband.
This is because many reasons people get divorced is because their partner dislikes your unhealthy appearance. There was even a study that men like their wife looking more attractive and the other way around.
But overall, you should do What Makes YOU Happy, not for your husband but for YOU.
However staying in shape is good for your mental and physical health.
So I think staying in shape for YOU and mabey your husband has more benefits than not being in shape.
The thing that is wrong with a woman staying in shape just and only for her husband is that she may feel pressured or she might feel like the only way to please or to make her husband keep loving is to stay in shape.
Made a post about this a few weeks back. Obviously she should. Saying she should do it for herself is just obfuscation. They want to muddy the water to sidestep she has any form of responsibility to stay in shape for her man.
Consider that more than half of the US is overweight or obese. Being fat is actually the norm right now. When the majority are falling short of this many are going to argue against it
Yes... they both should stay in shape for each other. Most of the time though it is the woman that just balloons up once she has the guy locked down. Still, though I think both parties should put in the effort for each other.
It sucks watching bros stuck with a chick that just stops doing anything except for shopping and eating. Then eventually bros give up on themselves as well and just start getting fat also.
I also wanted to mention childbirth... naturally, breastfeeding will slim them down, but nowadays it's like straight to soy formula with corn syrup in it. lolz I have also seen a documentary that their body goes back pretty quickly as long as the diet and physical activity goes back to normal. I think what happens 9 times out of 10, it's used as an excuse and the dietary practices picked up during pregnancy don't stop. I've seen it with my own eyes, it's like they go right back to hot in a month... but, I've live on a military base I I've seen them just blow up as well.
I think both parties should at least make an effort to be physically active. You don’t have to train like a pro athlete, but going to the gym (or training at home) 2-5 times a week (doing both cardio and strength training) I think is necessary. The bonus to doing that is looking good for your partner and being overall healthy 👍🏻
I believe that every relationship is unique. As long as both parties agree to the parameters, and no one is forcing anyone into anything, do what you want. There is no should and shouldn't. If you want someone to stay in shape for you, just make that clear at the beginning of the relationship.
At the same time, I believe that a guy who wants a woman to stay in shape specifically for him, and not just for her own health and happiness, is very unlikely to find a woman who meets his standards and is actually interested in him, especially if he is not particularly in-shape himself. But again, you're perfectly welcome to look. As long as you're honest from the beginning of the relationship, you're free to have that standard.
That’s a selfish way to view it you should always consider your spouses feelings because the relationship isn’t just about what you want it’s very inconsiderate to let yourself go and still expect your husband to be attracted to you
I have no intention of letting myself go. But I also think that you need to be realistic about how aging works, especially if you plan on having children. Women's bodies don't just pop back to the way they were once they have kids, and most of the time when men complain about no longer being attracted to their wives, its because of changes that occurred to her body as a result of pregnancy and childbirth.
My problem isn't with you being attracted to people being in-shape. My problem is that you said that a woman represents her husband, as if you would be ashamed to have a spouse who no longer meets your current standard of beauty.
It can be lost, but not immediately. It usually takes at least nine months, as long as it took to gain the weight, but it usually takes over a year. That’s why doctors recommend waiting eighteen months between pregnancies. Anything shorter than that doesn’t allow the body to heal.
And especially if you’re breastfeeding, maintaining a caloric deficit is not a healthy goal at first. And even if she does manage to lose the weight, it’s not just extra weight. A lot of the time people have stretch marks, and even after they lose the weight they have extra skin left. Their boobs also tend to get saggy, because they got bigger during pregnancy and then deflated. Breastfeeding also does weird things to your nipples. And women’s hair even starts shedding a ton after pregnancy.
Not to mention, if someone is breastfeeding, the baby is supposed to eat every few hours for the first few months. Even at night. That means that there are months at a time (and often longer) where a woman can’t get more than three hours of sleep at a time, and that’s if she’s lucky. And you want her to go to the gym? Who will watch the baby? Who will feed the baby? You’re not supposed to introduce a bottle for the first few months, as if can interfere with a baby’s ability to latch. And even if she did find a tiny bit of free time, I’m sure that she would rather take a nap.
There’s a difference between wanting someone to put in effort for their health, and being embarrassed to be seen with someone you don’t deem attractive. Because even if she manages to lose it eventually, there are going to be times when your spouse doesn’t look like they did when you married them. And it’s not fair to shame her for that. That’s how people get post-partum depression. And if you care about your spouse, you won’t want that for them.
@weasley8 you sound like those people who say they don’t have time to hit the gym excuse after excuse after excuse it definitely will not take 9 months hell you can walk everyday for 3 months and still keep your figure daily light cardio for a few minutes a day works wonders on your body and mental health recovery is important but what you’re saying is just excuses I know because I’ve seen plenty of clients do it
And would you or would you not be ashamed to be seen with your partner before they lost it? Even if they did start right away?
And are you even going to comment on the things I mentioned other than weight? The things people end up getting surgery to fix?
And I’m not saying that no one can do it. I’m saying that everybody’s body is different, and everybody’s situation is different. Are you a personal trainer? Very few people actually have the time and money to hire one. So your clients are already a limited batch, who I’m sure wouldn’t struggle to find someone to watch the kids. And most people formula feed these days, which also may have something to do with their ability to bounce back. There’s nothing wrong with formula feeding. You would just need to agree to that. It’s expensive, and not as healthy for the baby.
So yeah. I’m aware that some people are able to lose the weight quickly. But not everyone is. And so many women become depressed after having a baby because they’re isolated, and they no longer know their body anymore. And then to top it off they feel like they’re not attractive anymore, so they isolate even more to avoid embarrassment. It’s sad.
She doesn’t need to go to a gym and what you’re talking about only applies to women who weren’t exercising anyways before getting pregnant those issues or more common for women who were living a sedentary lifestyle prior to pregnancy any woman who takes care of her regularly before getting knocked up can easily get back into shape and personal trainers can negotiate prices so their more affordable than you think again a lot of women and people in general just make a bunch of excuses
This just proves men do not anything about a woman's body or mental health.
I can preach, I am a momma of 4 I retain water, and have hypothyroidism. I am apart of the low paid group and also am overweight.
I am married and my husband has commented on my weight and body change telling me I was unattractive from baby #1. I actually was not that big after baby number one, I tend to loose weight in my pregnancies.
I am a high risk mom so I am always at risk of complications due to my hypo. Since my husband wanted me to lose weight I tried and at first was starving because I did not know how to lose weight with my condition. It was actually deteriorating my health after pregnancy. My husband didn't really care to notice my tries and didn't understand my body did not work like his or others.
I ended up having postpartum depression, I isolated myself and cried every night for not being what I used to look like. It was so bad I felt cold and empty as I tended to our child.
After watching him look to other women in porn and in life I stopped caring.
I think it's really immature and selfish to not educate yourself about your wife's body and how you can help her feel beautiful and teach each other how to mentally uplift her and then physically guide her to better health. Men just jump to the idea that they are Gyno's.
My own doctors were pissed with my husband.
Please educate yourself boys.
Be a supportive husband and ask your wife if she feels beautiful if she says no ask her how you could help her get back on track to make her feel beautiful mentally and physically.
Don't be an observer be a supportive husband.
@Billybob46
If you see this as a big deal and deal breaker, please let your partner know before anything serious, like when you both are getting to know each other.
I speak this from experience because it's irritating af, I told my guy how I felt from the gecko that I do not think it is a big deal to be overweight as long as it's not unhealthy weights. He agreed, I also have a weight limit I allow myself to ever be. We were both aware but he was awful to me about my weight after pregnancy. So please be clear. Also know that every body is different so if your wife gains weight during pregnancy help her stay on top after she gives birth.
Help her with the baby, help her get rest, give her body time to retract and heal, be her mental strength. Pregnancy though is a crazy experience before and after so you might need to give her a year
If she does not plan to have babies just communicate about this before it gets to that point. If you are more concerned about attraction over health you might not be happy with most girls response. So yeah 🤷
@JustAnj My partner and I don't want kids, we just want a marriage without them.
No, I most certainly do not agree.
I personally take very good care of my own body and health, especially right in being 18 wks pregnant.
Whatever I might, or do achieve in staying in shape is wholly and solely for myself, and myself alone.
On a footnote, I would naturally hope that my husband will be doing precisely the same thing in taking care of his wellbeing.
Physical attraction is part of the package. Our bodies will change over time as we get older and go through shit. But overall I do think it's important to try to maintain some sort of physique for your partner IF you are able to do so
Marriage is a promise to help each other in any way you can, right? I think her staying attractive (within reason) is a great way to support her husband!
Of course. Since the husband are working to support the family, the wife has an obligation and duty to please her husband. And, depending on her age, that can include staying in shape.
I want my woman to be happy. If working out and keeping fit achieves that, great.. If not well that's fine also.
I work out a lot and at a very high level too, and I find she feels guilty if she doesn't try to do the same, but without ANY pressure at all from me.
The point I'm trying to make is, if you want your woman staying in shape then lead by example and stay in shape yourself.
haha thats like saying :
I married a much older man. I was 25 and he was 40. Should I dump him by the time Im 45 and he's 60 because he's now a senior citizen, his dick no longer works, I no longer find him attractive, and he can't catch up with me anymore?
it all depends on what you define as marriage.
you gotta understand that your spouse won't look the same as the day you married them.
I think everyone should aim to be the healthiest version of themselves - for themselves not for others. A woman’s goal in life shouldn’t be to look skinny for her husband. People’s bodies change over time - is the husband going to leave her when she ages and start getting wrinkles? When her body changes due to pregnancy? Health conditions, etc? There should be more to a relationship than weight
She should stay healthy for herself. She should take my opinion in count—she wants to be attractive to me obviously—but that shouldn't be the deciding factor. For example she's not gonna push herself back into her routine right after giving birth just because she's super hot with abs. Her physical and mental health is more important and she needs time to recover.
And then I still find her attractive how she looks now cause it's a range. It's not like she could lose 10 lbs and suddenly be ugly. That's not how it works. Within any reasonable range I bet she'd still be pretty attractive. And if she crosses out into something wildly unhealthy then there are way bigger things going wrong than how sexy she looks. And those need to be addressed first and foremost.
Staying in shape should never be primarily about your relationships. That's just not healthy.
Im talking about a married woman what you said is fine for a single girl but if a woman loves her husband she should want to look nice for him
I am also talking about a married woman. Getting married doesn't make your health any less important. In fact a husband should care about if his wife is reasonably healthy more than he should care about if she's as hot as she could be. Or do you disagree about that?
Health is hot
Agreed.
But you better keep yourself in shape as well if that is what you think. I think people should stay in shape really as well as for their own selves and their own health
Within reason. If she gains 20-30 then whatever I still like her. But if she goes from 130 to 300 then no, Im not sexually attracted anymore. Sorry, but if I wake up one day, look over at my woman and think "Eugh.." the relationship is fucked, You have to like what you wake up beside.
It might be shallow but Id be lying to you otherwise.
If a girl ain’t willing to stay in shape then she should date a fat slob. Don’t go dating a fit dude and then letting yourself go
Exactly exercise can be something we do together
Of course.
That is a no brainer.
Both should try to look nice and stay fit for each other.
Both should try to keep courting the other... not stop trying the moment they get a commitment.
2 reasons
1st the look it just looks better
2nd (the main reason) i love getting exersise and going to the gym and i´d love doing it with my girlfriend/wife so the shape thing comes along the way
Everyone should be in shape for themselves and their partner. The way your body looks affects your perception and mental health. Studies have shown "People who exercise regularly have better mental health and emotional wellbeing, and lower rates of mental illness."
So it is both beneficial to yourself and your partner to stay in shape and exercise regularly.
And the husband should compulsorily earn 500billion, since he represents the woman. Wouldn't it look bad if the said guy isn't wealthy enough? For gym purposes, also high maintenance issues.
PS. If women owe their husbands something, so do you guys. Cheers!
Damn right she should! Of course she should also want to stay in shape for her, but if she's not concerned about being attractive to her husband that's a HUGE fucking problem.
Hmmm. . . you make a good point with your update. It's really interesting to see how many girls recoil at the idea that a woman want to look good for her man. You'd think they'd WANT to be able to arouse him as well as possible!
THANK YOU! there is nothing wrong with that
I know, right? Like ask any dude, "would you want to work out and look hot if it meant that the woman you're with gets turned on af?" and his answer will be FUCK YES! So WTF?
Well not exactly. There needs to be a better motivator than that. I agree you shouldn't let yourself go just because your married but the other way around doesn't really work either. I stay in shape for myself but a spouse or girlfriend would be a little extra motivation if they were in good shape themselves
And that woman is in shape. We all have skin that bunches. Especially athletic people. Hollywood has stygmtized muscles as half starved.
I do hate that being lean thing is so trendy I’m shooting for more of a prime mike Tyson physique I mean lean is fine but I don’t want anything under 15% body fat
I’m not convinced body fat matters per se. Im not an expert and certainly not athletic. But actuary tables about lifespans is interesting. And not what you’d think.
Also, I did that crazy group exercise thing (name escapes me) and the women were amazing, but just judging by body type i’d have falsely said “overweight”. Maybe they are, technically.
I think both the man and woman should try to stay healthy. Not necessarily look like supermodels but be healthy.
You don't necessarily have to stay in shape but don't let yourself just get sloppy, have the same pride in yourself as you had in the beginning when I met you as you would want me
I’m sure all of you here are fat and look like a 10 with your other
So pls keep this comment section natural and organic stop fantasizing
I worked with a cook, and she told me that food doesn't taste as good as skinny feels.
That second pic is a hog.
Men and women alike should try to be appealing to their so's. If that means their so's find fit people appealing, then yes.
Do it for her self. But he should benefit from it for sure.
If I may expand on this question…
Honestly I don’t recommend dating anyone that doesn’t seek self improvement or growth professionally, physically or emotionally.
She should for herself and her health. If she's gonna let herself go, why on earth would I have to invest any of my time in her? Goes both ways too. To each their own, of course, I don't like complacent behaviour.
Yes a woman should stay in shape, because if you get overweight he may very well get uninterested
Preach my brudda
Okay 👍🏾
Live your life and be real. But don't take the piss either way and you'll have a good marriage and good health
I marked no becouse the way you put it
She is her own person not his slave that if she gain wight its a disrespect to him
She shuld keep in shape for her self and to please her husband as he shuld do the same for her as two that care about pleasing each outher
not becouse it effects out side respect
Reply for your update
First at least in the way you word it and how I read it, it just sounds like he owns her or something, like she is a thing for him to show off "Look at my lovely sheep.. you should respect me as a Shepherd" is kind of what it sounds like
Second of all because a woman should care for her self, have some self respect, same with the man 100% but you asked about the woman
Someone should be health because its good for there life, and if its good for there life its good for there husbands as well as longer life and happier life will be for both of them
Without relation to the other people around
You have a vivid imagination
Yes they should
most women become fat after pregnancy and they think its ok to stay fat
which blows my mind, dumbest excuse i've heard.
study done by oxford university shows that women give up on themselves at age of 30
hence why you always hear "Women hit the wall at 30".
If the guy is doing the same sure. But a guy that is allowing himself to become a walking beer gut can't expect his wife to keep in shape. Really because it can create an issue for the woman or man if they are keep in shape and their partner isn't.
Yes one should never be lazy. It is the duty of a wife to try staying attractive to her husband. Exercise is also good for health.
if both partners care about staying in shape then i agree. but a woman staying in shape for a guy who let's himself go should just find a better partner
Both people should try to stay in shape for their partner. People stop putting in effort once they are in a relationship for a while and that is one of the things that makes a partner lose interest in them.
It's like one of the only things a woman brings to a marriage is being attractive and now these women on here think that's too much too, and they wonder why no guys want to get married... lol
I agree to a certain extent, but it’s also a two way street. I’d want my husband to stay in shape for me too.
And he should
As to your statement of the fatter sex. I came across these stats.
Prevalence of Overweight and ObesityAdultsPercentage of US adults with overweight, obesity, and severe obesity by sex, 2017–2018 NHANES Data2 All (Men and Women) MenWomenOverweight30.734.127.5Obesity (including severe obesity)42.443.041.9Severe obesity9.26.911.5As shown in the above tableNearly 1 in 3 adults (30.7%) are overweight. More than 1 in 3 men (34.1%) and more than 1 in 4 women (27.5%) are overweight. More than 2 in 5 adults (42.4%) have obesity (including severe obesity). About 1 in 11 adults (9.2%) have severe obesity. The percentage of men who are overweight (34.1%) is higher than the percentage of women who are overweight (27.5%). With that out of the way both sexes should stay in shape for themselves.
@douride2 I won’t poke holes in your little stats because I said that as a scientific fact : women are the fatter sex fact women have more fat cells and a higher fat percentage like I said the fatter sex with the slower metabolism with that out of the way we aren’t talking about both sexes we are talking about women
Not my stats. They came off the net.
What I said following still stands
Not necessary because I will slap the fat out of her.
@seekingvirginwife
Good luck with that
You made me laugh a**hole.
It’s about being healthy and able to support each other.
when it comes down to staying in shape for someone, it is getting to be controlling and toxic and that’s for either partner.
in an ideal world both parties would maintain a healthy figure for their partners benefit and also their own. since most people start to view their partner as less attractive over time if they don't even try to stay healthy.
Yes because both should stay healthy. Your health can decide how long you live and how happy you are. Sure there are ways to over-do it but it´s nothing to take lightly.
No, not for her husband. She should stay in shape for herself, because she likes to be fit and toned and not for anyone's sake or happiness, be it anyone. No exceptions.
For your update.
Yes there is a big difference between the woman staying in shape for her husband as compared to staying in shape for herself and for the right reasons, health reasons etc.
There is a big difference in motivation levels. When a woman stay fit, toned and in shape for herself and because she loves being fit and toned then she will self driven and motivated to maintain that shape. She won't need any external factors like being accepted or complimented by people or doing it because someone tells her etc.
She stays in shape because that is what really wants and it makes her happy.
On the other hand if a woman simply does this for her husband then the entire motivation factor will be missing. She will simply be trying to do it for her husband's happiness and because he likes it. This kind of thinking is very weak. The motivation that she may get most likely won't last long.
it is not about what i as a man want, it is about what she wants to do, she should do it to make herself more attractive for herself. so she can live long, so she can look good for not just me her husband but herself so she can be happy when she looks in the mirror.
A woman should stay in shape for herself and her health, however also for her husband. Because a husband is mandated to provide for his wife, failure to do so is valid grounds for divorce so why should the woman not keep up her end of the bargain?
