I would love to have some input from some wise christian people about a topic I've never seen addressed in a Christian setting. What is a Christian spouse supposed to do when their other-half lets him/herself get fat and generally fails to take care of their appearance? In particular, I would like to hear from women about MEN who fail to take care of themselves. I am a Christian woman married to a great guy who has failed to take care of himself. Call me shallow if you must, but there is no talking myself into not finding him repulsive.

The General Mental Health Forum is now a Read Only Forum. As we had two large areas making it difficult for many to find, we decided to combine the Mental Health & the Recovery sections of the forum into Mental Health & Recovery as a whole. Physical Health still remains as it's own area within the entire Recovery area.
If you are having struggles, need support in a particular area that you aren't finding a specific recovery area forum, you may find the General Struggles forum a great place to post. Any any that is related to emotions, self-esteem, insomnia, anger, relationship dynamics due to mental health and recovery and other issues that don't fit better in another forum would be examples of topics that might go there.
If you have spiritual issues related to a mental health and recovery issue, please use the Recovery Related Spiritual Advice forum. This forum is designed to be like Christian Advice, only for recovery type of issues. Recovery being like a family in many ways, allows us to support one another together. May you be blessed today and each day.

I feel your not as shallow as you think. So many do this. But I look at this way, if we are to worship god and try to serve his purpose and we are not owner of our bodies as they are the temple of God. then if we let ourselves go are defiling the temple of god. We also are dishonoring and not respecting our spouse if we don't take care of ourselves. The bible is clear on the sanctity and importance of marriage. When we marry our spouse is a gift from God. I also feel when a person no longer tries to take care of their weight and appearance in marriage, they are taking their spouse for granted. To approach the issue in a christian way is with a loving but firm heart. Let your spouse know God expects them to take care of God's temple.
