The secret to a great marriage is not ending every conversation with, "Yes Dear".  That may help, but it's a bit deeper than that.

Yale University did the research, so this is not some fly by night survey.  Researchers found that women were happier in the marriage if the husband didn't let himself go.  Now that contradicts popular believe.  Recently in the media, people have been talking about the 'Dad Body' and how married women accept it, which is not really the case.  Women may not say it out loud, but they really don't care for their husbands letting themselves go after they have a family.

They also found that married women are less likely to be depressed if they have a husband who works out regularly.  As a plus, men who work out are happier than men who don't.  Oddly enough, women who work out are no more happier than women who don't.
