Question

Answer 1

I AM MARRIED AND HAPPY. YOU CAN GET SOME PROBLEMS WHILE GIVING EDUCATION TO YOUR KIDS AND FINANCIAL MATTERS BUT THESE ARE ALL TEMPORARY

Answer 2

Asking if married people are really happy, is like asking if people with freckles are really happy. There are people on both sides of the continuum. I am married and have never been happier. However, I don't think it is for everyone.

Marriage is not easy, and married life has its ups and downs just like single life. However when you have a partner who is deeply committed to the marriage, and you are both willing to work HARD on the relationship, the ups and downs of life seem a little easier as you have a partner who supports you.

I think the key to staying happy as a married couple is asking yourself everyday what you can do to be a better husband or wife and acting on it. If you have a good partner, your effort will be reciprocated.

You asked if bachelors are always lonely and unhappy. The answer is no. I know a few men who are doing fine without a wife (or other life partner). I think in general we humans are programmed for togetherness, but there are definitely people who are happier alone.

If you don't know yourself well, have difficulty letting little things go, or people tell you that you are spiteful or you don't feel in control of your finances, then marriage is probably not for you right now. Also, I'm a big fan of marriage counseling if things get rough. In general, divorce does not make people happier. Please check the link listed as my source below if you doubt me.

Answer 3

Married people are just about as happy or as unhappy as unmarried people. Happiness is never defined that way. It is more about mental contentment within the situation that one is. E.g. rich people are happy in their own ways and poor people can be happy in their own ways too. Barriers can never be set up for one in search of true happiness. But, as it is, most people are hardly content with what they have. The grass on the other side is always greener.
In India most young people still go for arranged marriages with the man or woman that their parents have selected for them. They have little say in such matters. The result is that in a lot of cases, dissatisfaction creeps up sooner than expected and marriage bliss turns sour. The spouses think that they would have been happier had they not married. Or even worse, had they found a better partner than the existing one. The reality is that the dissatisfaction can be easily ironed out with a little face to face talk and minor adjustments on both sides.
On the other hand, people who have chosen to stay unmarried might get dissatisfied with their lives. Especially when they perceive that their married mates are apparently happier than themseves. They start to rue their decision of not getting married and consequently suffer from depression.
It is extremely important to decide judiciously whether one wants to marry or not. It is dependent on his nature and inclinations. Such a decision should not be influenced by other's examples. But sufficient thought should be given to the decision making. Decisions such as these should never be made in haste so as to repent later.
Bachelorhood means not having a wife only. It doesn't mean that a man should not have friends or a girl friend. It doesn't mean that being a bachelor he is forbidden from having sex with women. He can also adopt kids, if he wishes to experience fatherhood without marrying. So life for a bachelor can't be any less normal or interesting or exciting than a married man. In fact it can only be more, if he so desires.
And finally, if at any stage of his life a bachelor does want to get married, he is always open to do so. It is never too late to get married.

Some married people are very happy, but they are the ones constantly working on the relationship. A positive, loving relationship requires constant thought and attention, it is a living thing like a plant....actually, your life is the same way. As long as you are thoughtful to yourself, do things to take care of your physical being and remain calm and stress-free you can be a bachelor, bachelorette, unmarried in a relationship ---whatever you choose and still live your life very happily -- you just have to be very content with your circumstance -- this is the key to being happy.

Answer 5

I can say 50-50 here..

Married people are happy in the case if the relationship was good and both have mutual understandings about life. If they don't have the things what I mentioned, thats not called a good relationship.

I observed most of the people who are married are not happy because of some silly reasons to strange reasons.. They find fault on their spouse. I mean throwing **** on each other.

Bachelors are happy of course, in some cases they are unhappy until and unless if they want to start their marriage life with expectations on their partners..

Answer 6

I can only speak for myself... I am more happy being married than I ever imagined. It is the perfect life for ME.

I have numerous bachelor friends and they will probably NEVER find someone that will sweep them off their feet. They are perfectly happy alone and with their own family. A spouse and children are not part of what they want in their lives. I am happy that they are happy and not giving in to society by feeling they MUST marry.

Answer 7

there are unhappy married people and unhappy single people...it is not about who you are with or if you are with someone...it is about if you are happy, doing things that you enjoy, living life.

I think a lot of people settle when they get married, either they are unhappy being alone and think of it as the fairytale ending or they do it simply becuz they believe that is what society expects from them.

Either way, when you are happy, you attract people who are happy to you. And in the unfortunate occasion that you might attract someone that is unhealthy...you are in a place that you are okay leaving becuz u know that you deserve better.

So, really, to be happy...first you must be happy on your own. THen if you meet someone that you can be happy with...then get married and you can be happy together!!!!

Answer 8

My husband and I are very happy being married. Just because you are married doesn't mean that you are miserable. Married people have problems that arise every now and then just like single people or people in committed relationships. People have the ability to choose their happiness and marriage is great. For me it's about being married to my best friend who I love so much. Yea, not every day is a piece of cake but marriage is something you have to work at together!

Answer 9

married people are not happy, it's a big lie. Misery loves company so they act like it's the greatest thing in the world just so other dumb-asses join in. Bachelors and single women are really the happy people of the world.

Answer 10

Different people are happy for different reasons. I can't generalize and say that all married people are happy, or all bachelors are not happy.

I think that men need women and women need men on the physical, emotional, psychological, and biological levels, and until they find "the one", they will not be satisfied.

I don't believe in an approach to life where you are always expecting to make yourself "happy", because life is not about being happy, it is about responsibility to others, and unselfishness.

Answer 11

duh. Things start going downhill after marriage. It has a tendency to ruin things. And if the government now has a say on who can and can't get married, gay people for example, then what's the point of marriage anyways. It makes the whole institution meaningless if its not even really about loving the person but about being a man and a woman. Marriage is overrated and in maybe another century will be forgotten about, something in a fairytale because its something that nowadays really doesn't make any sense.
