Sometimes, your partner isn’t just seemingly angry for no reason. “Hanger” is a thing, and it exists! We charge our cell phones when the battery is running low, why should we not do the same when it comes to keeping each other fed. A hungry spouse = an angry spouse, which can eventually harm a marriage. Food is energy, and relationships take energy. When some couples get crabby, they stop and eat. It’s better to ditch a diet when improving your relationship. Try steak and chocolate instead!
