For a further 62%, they admitted they have gained as much as stone since becoming involved in a relationship.
The research, commissioned by Diet Chef, also revealed that 72% of respondents felt their partner had put on weight, while 66% of couples felt they had put on weight together.
Interestingly, 52% of women said they tend to eat the same amount as their man, with 56% saying this means eating larger portions.
The findings suggests that being in a relationship is the most common cause of weight gain, rather than comfort eating, lack of exercise or holidays. In support of the claim, 30% of couples said their main activity together is staying at home and watching television, while 20% said eating our together is a 'key bonding' activity.
The survey also looked at other aspects of couple's relationships – some of which were more unsettling than others.
For example, 40% of British people admit to burping in front of their partner, while 26% said they are happy to pass wind in front of their other half, while another 26% claimed they shaved their legs and other body hair less once they feel comfortable with their partner.
There is some hope however, as 26% also said they wish they had a healthier lifestyle with their partner.
Izzy Cameron, Nutrition and Weight Management Specialist at Diet Chef said: "This survey has revealed some very interesting results, and it's surprising to see how complacent people can be when they are in a relationship.
"It's widely known that people tend to put on a little bit of weight once they have found love, but what we didn't expect to find was that the weight gain is on average a stone, if not more.
"At Diet Chef we appreciate the role food plays in a relationship, and whilst enjoyment of food is great, it's important to stay healthy and monitor what you eat on a daily basis, especially portion size."
