    Is this correlation related to marriage specifically or can it also be observed in long-term, stable, cohabiting relationships?
    In either case, what does this suggest?

      I’d also like to see if they controlled for age. I’m currently on my phone so I’m not when going to bother hunting down the study.

        Age is mentioned as a contributing factor in the news piece so they seem to have at least investigated both marriage and age (in addition to depression).
        The news piece doesn’t appear to link to any published study. They do mention that the findings will be presented so perhaps a peer-reviewed publication will follow too?

      Anecdotally: I gained 50 pounds when my fiancé moved in, because like another comment said I stopped skipping meals like I did when I lived alone.

      See my other comment. We are not married. In fact, I started gaining weight before she officially moved in.
