When you’re a health nut and your significant other is... well, not so much, it can be easy to want to change them. And, of course, your heart’s in the right place. You want them to be healthy so they stick around with you for a very long time.

However, nagging and using a lot of "should" statements is only going to make them want to do the opposite. It’s pretty basic human behavior: tell someone they have to do something and they’ll resist.

So, let’s agree on a couple of ground rules to keep our relationships in good standing while making changes to improve the health of both partners:

If you’re a man in a good relationship aspiring to adopt a healthy lifestyle consider yourself lucky. If you’re a partner to such a man know that you’ve got tremendous influence on their health. Experts tell us that it’s our own behavior that has the greatest impact on our health. We also know that social and personal relationships are among the strongest sources of inspiration to live healthy. They represent the endgame, the purpose that drives healthy behavior, keeping many men going when others quit. Yes, the secret sauce of healthy living is right in front of us. The key is to recognize these motivators and turn them into to day-to-day habits, routines and rituals that produce a healthy lifestyle, and that’s where partners can play a key role.
