Or is my jaded inside view of marriage clouding the fact that it possibly is a good constitution....?

Truly happily married?? NO..there's no such thing and anyone who says so is lying.
That's why we have a divorce rate of 60%

I've know my husband since 3rd grade and we've been married for going on 3 years. We are expecting our first baby, a little girl in just a few weeks and I love him more than ever. We have a wonderful relationship and sometimes when I think about how lucky I am I can't help but cry tears of happiness. We had a rough patch when we first got married but it was just typical first year stuff. I truly believe we are soulmates and I can't imagine my life without him. Several of our friends comment on what a "perfect" couple we are. Don' t get discouraged by other people's negativity. Know that there is someone special out there for you and you will find them! Both my parents are on there third marriage (and still unhappy) and I thought I too would be cursed but I know my husband and I will be together forever. Good luck and when you least expect it, love will find you!

Well I guess its a matter of who you talk to and when you talk to them. About 3 years ago if you would have asked me that question I would say who the f* told you that there were happy marriages get your head out of your fairy tale books. In the last almost 2 years now I have been with my new wife and I cant even begin to tell you How amazing it has all been. I am very happy. I've seen people who have been together for 50 or 60 years and seem happy but I'm sure they also went through their moments. I think the important thing is that the good outweighs the bad

Yes, me and my husband. We got married at the age of 18 and this February we will be celebrating our 18th anniversary. A marriage is work though, it isnt a walk through a thorn free bed of roses :) It takes Unlimited amounts of respect, trust, understanding, patience, kindness and unselfishness. A successfull marriage is one that at the end of the day, no matter that you have a difference of opinion, that you go to bed knowing you are loved and are in love. Marriage is a team effort as well. Neither one of us can be the only ones working on it. it has to be both of us together.

I've been happily married for 11 year. What I think thats important is that you have to listen to each other and not get in fights for every little thing. Sometimes you just need to walk away over the stupid stuff.

I am happily married too. I think the key is trust, kindness and knowing when you need to give 50% and when you might have to give 150%. Its all a give and take situation. Some times you give more than you get, if that becomes a problem for you than you need to talk to your spouse.

yes. for the longest time (years and years) i did not know any happy marrieds, i let my bad family upbringing cloud my thinking. i finally started knowing happy couples in my 30s, which is when i finally met someone i could trust, and now we are happily married. its okay to be jaded, but dont hold onto it forever. periodically review your beliefs

If you're a REALIST and don't expect the fairy tale, anyone can be happy. I think society expectations of marriage are in the clouds and that's why there are so many darn divorces. Get real. It's hard work.

yes I do know a truly happy marrage,,,, I think the secret to happy in a marrage is ,,,,, faithfuness , kindness, self control, trust,, full commitment,, when people get maried they sometimes get married for the wrong reasons or different religion people think that marring someone from a different religion is ok,,, but at the end it does not work.... I think if I get married I would go to conuseling first to know what Im realy getting into....

I know several very happily married couples.
It takes commitment & communication to keep it going.
