'The study, presented at this year’s European Congress on #Obesity in Málaga, Spain, found that #married men were 3.2 times more likely to be #obese than unmarried men, but there was no increase in obesity risk for married women.

#Marriage also increased the odds of being overweight by 62% in men and 39% in women.'

The Guardian · Marriage triples risk of obesity in men – but not women, study revealsBy Anna Bawden

This may be a controversial opinion, but my #advice to women getting #married is this: don't change your last name.

Regardless of whether the #SAVEact gets passed, having a maiden name and two married names has become a nightmare for things more mundane than the ability to vote. Like 401(k) roll-overs and loan satisfaction documentation.

I highly, highly recommend keeping your maiden name.

Wild idea: if you have a problem with your partner, spouse, boyfriend or girlfriend, take a moment to STOP; Get Some Help!
Get advice elsewhere.
Seek therapy, couples’ counselling, or both.
Hear them out, including a possible divorce, break up, trial separation, mediation, and/or arbitration.

For the record, if we're tallying all the reasons i cherish and #married my wife please include that she's both curious and useful.

When we wanted to watch a stream simultaneously tonight while separated by a time zone, she stuck it out with me, suggesting ideas and trying to troubleshoot mine until we got it working. When the SteamDeck requires some esoteric Linux incantation to get Bluetooth working, she's already looking up possible solutions to suggest, and is more annoyed at Linux than i am.

She's got a knack for solutions. For narrowing problems down to their actionable elements. For (usually, mostly) keeping her composure so that when it's my turn to solve problems, she isn't making the situation more tense or dire.

I'm a grown ass man. I don't need a mother or a maid or a therapist. I need a partner. A peer. A coconspirator. And i found one and God, do i love that woman.
