We've only been married six years and have tried working out together off and on beginning when we were dating. It's never lasted more than about two weeks unfortunately; primarily due to motivation issues (she's got no motivation). My wife's problem is that she has a crazy metabolism and prefers healthy foods over junk food anyway. The result is that she stays very skinny without exercising and thus doesn't feel much motivation to go through the discomfort of working out. We love to hike/backpack, snowshoe, climb, etc. together, though, so it drives me crazy when she doesn't work out because then she is unable to perform when we do our outdoor activities. When she does get into shape, she's my favorite hiking/climbing partner.
