Do you believe that a married man or woman has an obligation to try really hard to look their best for their partners? For example, not letting themselves go, exercising/dieting regularly, and wearing attractive clothes instead of trying to look like a slob (sweatpants and baggy shirts)?
yes, what ever you did while you were dating should continue throughout your marriage. The idea of "I have them no so I no longer have to try" goes both ways. 10 pounds is no biggy but once you're putting on weight big time and dressing like a slob (all the time), it's not good. This goes for both men and women. IMO
FYI.... Most of my friends don't think it's funny or cute when a guy puts on sympathy weight while his wife is pregnant. Some women find it "difficult" to take off the baby weight, but that doesn't mean they should stop trying. IMO
I do, I don't really get why people "let themselves go", why a person would not want to stay healthy (and hopefully out of the doctors office) and attractive is beyond me. I am not implying someone go get plastic surgery, or spend all day primping and obsessing over how they look. But honestly I see people of both sexes who look like they gave up. You can look keen at any age!
I believe, people should be obligated to be as healthy as possible, whether they're married or not. As far as attire goes; I really don't care what my partner looks like, as long as it's comfortable for her.
I don't think there's an obligation, but it's usually a good idea, especially if your SO is making an effort. Couples will usually decide what works for them, and not respecting those agreements can have consequences. Many couples apparently "let themselves go" together.

No, actually I don't, my husband loves ME not all the outside frou frou crap that so many feel is the most important part of a relationship/marriage.

Yes!
I believe attraction is what brought up together in the first place and that should always be there. Effort shoult be made and maintained from both.
