Who is happy or unhappy?

Question

I have been trying to figure out what the formula for having a happy marriage since I have already had an unhappy one and I really need very honest answers from those of you that have had trials and tribulations in your marriage and still make it work

Answer 1

When you figure it out please let me know i guess its best to just take your time with someone and make sure that they are what you want. But you also have to make sure you can make yourself happy too because without that noone else can make you happy in the longterm

Answer 2

There is no formula for a happy marriage per se.
All ppl are different and different ppl have different ways of handling the same situation too.
Having said that, a "good" marriage is onstant work. Its not something one a hieves overnight. A good marriage an turn sour for la k of attention and vi e versa.
An open ommuniation is imp in any marriage. Trust, honesty, willingness to work on it together,goes a long way in making a marriage su essfull.

Answer 3

My husband and I have been through A LOT. We almost divorced and we were fighting so much that I wondered why we got married in the first place. Anyways, we built our marriage back up. First, we looked at our wedding tape. We listened to each other say vows that we no longer kept. Then, we saw a counselor (dont knock it til you try it). After that, we started spending more time together. We went to different places, but most of all, we started communicating a lot more. We shared things that we would not tolerate and shared things that just bothered us. I decided to choose my battles, some things just werent worth fighting for. We still argue every now and then, but its not explosive. We try not go to bed angry, and we ALWAYS sleep together. Now, I can say, we are happy. I love him to death, and he takes good care of me. We act like teenagers sometimes, and people envy our relationship.

Answer 4

I may have made mistakes in the past but, each relationship I try & improve by learning,communication is sometimes missing in a relationship & also knowing when to admit you are wrong this next marriage I really don`t have any call for not being able to get it right I hope I don`t live to regret.

Answer 5

I am happy most of the time.To be expecting 100% happy all the time is unrealistic.My hub and I are best friends,every so often we get on eachothers nerves for a moment or two,but we dont hold grudges and before you know it,we are laughing together again.We have been married for 18 years,together for 24.

Answer 6

I am not married as yet but I am engaged and have been with my fiance for 7 years. Love, trust and honesty are the key factors to make a relationship work. I have learnt this from experience but we have also learnt not to throw a good thing away just on something stupid.

Answer 7

My husband and I are happily married. But it wasn't always such a happy road. What works for us is: spending time together and spending time apart. We like to do things together like go to movies, watch television, be out in nature (hiking, biking, etc). But we always make time to be apart and do things that the other doesn't care to do like I go shopping with my friends and watch chick flicks with my mom and he goes four-wheeling with his buddies and spends time working on his cars. It works great for us.

Answer 8

I don't think you can use happy and marriage in the same sentence !

Answer 9

Im happy. There are no secrets other than he is everything I ever wanted in a husband.

Answer 10

happy, we communicate,laugh, work hard, love, never have explosive fights, and make our marriage a #1 priority.
