Why train abs? To have a strong core. Not that I'll be having a six pack at any time, but I train my abs and lower back to strenghen the core of my body. I feel that the point that connects the lower and upper body should be strong.

I've only been married a few months, but in that time I've put more effort into my training, cardio and diet than ever before....
.... I don't ever want to be the fat, slob husband who sits there munching chips while watching Sunday football. The type that the wife looks over at and thinks "I could've married James Harrison.... and he's a DENTIST now."
That scares me.... I always wanted to be the best I could possibly be for my wife, but more importantly.... myself.
I think you should do what is better for you. I don't know anyone who doesn't feel better about themselves when they're lean, as opposed to when they're carrying fat. It boosts your self-esteem and makes you feel good.... and when you're cut, if you ask yourself if it's worth the cardio and the dieting, you'll probably agree that it is. Ask yourself when you're still carrying some fat, and the prospect of cardio/diet doesn't look to appealing, regardless of the rewards.
In terms of marriage, think of it this way: What would you think if your wife completely let herself go, stopped exercising and watching what she eats, stopped wearing nice clothes or make-up.... with the mentality "I've already bagged a man. What's the point?"

Well what about ya'll do ya'll do'em and remember be honest? And if you are married and have a six pack from all that dieting and hard work, why?

Too funny dude. But she did get fat and so did I and so will you. Maybe not right away but it will happen over time. What motivated me and my wife too get back in shape was a deal we made each other. We both agreed to try to look like we did when we got married or better. I was 20 she was 18. Now 16 years later we did it through dieting, juice, ECA and t3 stacks and tons of exercise. But after now 2 years we look pretty good. But getting a six pack is totally different thing. It is real hard work and dieting. I don't know if either on of us are that commited we are already look better than all of our friends so what's the point to go further. Besides I like the way she cooks.
There are 3 types of people
Those that don't workout, those that do but eat whatever, and those that take the whole package.
I honestly do understand the 2nd, I mean working out and still eating like a slob is a fuckload better than not working out at all.
It also requires no discipline really since once your in the gym you get hooked and theres no real diet to stick too.
If you have no desire to get that low of BF% I can see eating a little sloppier and enjoying the food/life and normal eats.
People often forget that you don't have to be 100% into the sport to enjoy it or see benefits. You don't need to be remotely good at basketball to enjoy playing.
I would still like to encourage you to go 100% in or at least 90% make your wife happy. Mabe you don't need to work abs but aim for the next lower bf% anyway. Hit the cardio and help your overall health a bit.
Of course still you get too lazy in it and you won't see any improvements and you could eventually fall victim to be one of the many people that are there all the time and never change, then again, I'm sure you know far too much by now to let that happen or be satisfied w/ that.

Sorry, curling.... I didn't realise your age.
Not that you're REALLY old or anything, but I guess it's not as much of a priority when you're in your mid 30's as it is in your early 20's (as I am)....
.... I guess in that case, dieting really hard and doing cardio like crazy and working your abs.... probably isn't all that necessarry. You seem committed to keeping your bodyfat at reasonable levels, which is what's important really.... not having the 6-pack.
