The issue goes deeper than just "she got fat" or "he got lazy." The problem is you're not the same person you were five years ago, and neither is your spouse. This usually means that the couple's interactions change. A couple might have agreed to not have children, but then 5 years later the woman's clock has turned on? The content husband now being nagged daily about how sweet babies are. While some may feel marriage makes him contractually obligated to accommodate, many others do not, and feel he has the right to seek another partner, one that still does not want children.

Because all beauty is fleeting, but a good cook and conversationalist is forever
My girlfriend is a good cook, a good conversationalist and beautiful.
I fail to understand how her possibly or eventually fleeting beauty are a reason against our relationship when the other two (and a couple more characteristics that I find even more important than her cooking skills) are likely to stay the same.
I don´t get the logic (but maybe you were half or entirely joking?)

so let me guess your perfect? you never annoy your wife, what do you think marriage is? a fairy tale. I think you need to read the word of god about marriage. Go to Corinthians and do some research. you sound like you have a godless marriage and you expect our wife to never say anything that bothers you.

Let me ask you:
do you give her a reason to nag?

God forbids divorce expect in the case of infidelity. there are other reasons he will allow, abuse is one. So take a look at your marriage. do you and your wife communicate? that's huge. Marriage is a marathon you have to be willing to work at to be successful. sounds like you two need to talk.

If you want to be happy for the rest of your life, never make a pretty woman your wife. So from my particular point of view, get a ugly girl to marry you.
That's from an old reggae song. It's akin to the old joke:
1st Man: Never marry a beautiful woman because she'll cheat on you and break your heart.
2nd Man: Won't an ugly woman cheat on you too?
1st Man: Sure, but who cares?
