Positively Blissful

In Valentine's Day news you might have missed, "the happier your marriage, the more likely it is that you will gain weight".
[SMU researcher Andrea] Meltzer followed 169 newlywed couples for four years, collecting information on their marital satisfaction and weight. The results showed that marital happiness is positively associated with weight gain. Spouses -- both male and female -- who were more satisfied with their relationships tended to gain more weight, while spouses who were less satisfied tended to weigh less.
Based on readings from our bathroom scale, our marriage is positively blissful.
