Is ANYBODY Happily Married anymore?

Answer 1

It does sound like an oxymoron, doesn't it?

Happy is when you reach a balance, in the relationship IMHO. After 11 years of official marriage, I can say that we are no longer the passionate participants of our early years.

However, we no longer fight. I had actually considered divorce, but began to realize that if I choose my priorities and think about my options, this relationship does function well.

So, yeah, I'm happy. We both have good health, we both realize each other's limitations. We don't deliberately push each other's buttons. We have evolved signals to communicate when a boundary is getting pushed - and we respect each other's boundaries.

I think it's all a matter of attitude and perspective. Would I be better off alone? No. If I had it to do over again, would I have chosen this person? Who knows?

Every individual has boundaries, a belief system, a basic orientation to life, and a history of childhood relationships. None of us is perfect.

Answer 2

No....not even close. And its not society...the government or any other institution that's making this so. Your just hearing more about the breakup of marriages because of the age of information. Alot of people blame outside reasons for the rise in unhappiness in marriage's today and i think its always been there. Its the thing nobody wanted to talk about before that now....just had to get out. Ive been married 6 years....most of my friends are married about the same amount. The only people i know that are happy are my parents. Married 52 years. I grew up thinking that was normal. That i would one day meet someone...fall in love, have kids....the fence, the dog...and be happy. Then i woke up....and i realized that my parents are NOT the norm. Is anyone happpy anymore? I think the right question is....was anyone ever happy to begin with. I started out happy.....now. No. Not even close. I think people get married for all the wrong reasons these days and aren't honest about who they are and what they want. And when they finaly wake up and realize they need and what they really want....marriages end.

Answer 3

Yes there is......But it doesn't come easy..there is a lot of hardship, pain n sacrifice u must be able to go through in order to have a happy marriage. It's two indiviual with different indiviual feelings and desires to be unite as one. It not easy. It's like 2 rocks in a water fall rolling down. The 2 rocks are rough.The only way for the rock to become smooth is bang and rub against each other. Many things will happen along that journey.This is the time where they get to know each other better, help each other, throw and remove all the differences, sharp edges untill both become a beautiful round shaped stone.....The understanding period. ................This is the advice someone told me once and it made sense. Mine is not a perfect and happy marriage but only a happy marriage. It takes time to prefect it.

Answer 4

My husband and I have been happily married for 10 years now. It has it's up and downs and it is alot of work. Besides being a parent it is the hardest job you will ever have.

Answer 5

ONLY THOSE WHO ARE WILLING TO PUT IN THE WORK...heaven forbid that you should work at something TOGETHER...

My wife and I have been working at it for 7 years and we are happily married with one child and waiting for our 2nd.. I think that as long as you pull your weight and you act selflessly as much as you can...then you will show your wife that you care...and a marrigae is more than the man doing his JOB and a woman taking care of the kids...THE MAN HAS TO DO HIS CHORES AT HOME as well..it is not a question as to whether she is doing her share...I mean if she is at home with kids..she is probably..no DEFINITELY exhausted by the 1-2-3 kids and if she is pregnant..then there are many things that men have to do over everything else they've done...again...selflessness is the key...for both husband and wife..

Answer 7

i imagine i'd not like it if my husband replaced his look from what I fell in love with to a unique look that i did not like. i am going to genuinely talk with him and ask him to contemplate me earlier making drastic alterations. I ask my husband now how he wish me to placed on my hair, outfits, etc. i wanted to reduce my hair and purely this morning requested him and he stated no (for sure he did, men love lengthy hair). So it is going to stay lengthy. Now i'm certain if I had a fabulous reason i wanted it reduce - too warm, breaking off, etc, he'd say "oh ok yet i am going to omit it". So talk including your husband about his "new look" do not tell him you at the instantaneous are not in contact in him - because i'm certain it became more desirable than his hair that you've been attracted too proper? notwithstanding, lengthy hair on a guy is a youthful aspect...if he's getting old and extra mature he might want to be reducing it down. he will be beginning to gray on the temples quickly - so pleasing - and short hair will look fantastic. purely pay interest to me, in case you do not locate him pleasing anymore, another lady would so that you extra efficient be certain of what you're doing there, missy. good success.
