The secret to maintaining a happy marriage is based on the wife remaining slimmer than her husband, according to a new study.
Researchers claim both partners are more content if the woman has a lower Body
Mass Index (BMI) than the man.
A four-year study found that relationships lasted longer if the woman felt
more attractive and desirable than her other half.
But relationship experts have already dismissed the findings, insisting that
size is not necessarily a key factor in a husband finding his wife
attractive.
The study at the University of Tennessee selected 169 married couples under
the age of 35 and asked them to fill in questionnaires every six months for
four years.
The findings discovered that men with a higher BMI than their wives were
happier at the start of their marriage and stayed that way.
