Are you happily married and if yes, tell me the one secret for your happiness?

Answer 1

I am very happily married! I think respect for each other and a commitment to the relationship are key.

Answer 2

Everyone says that communication is the key. Communication doesn't help if you don't know what communication is. Communication is when I make you know what the thoughts in my head are. A look can therefore be communication, and a long conversation may not be. Communication involves both parties taking part. The listener has to actively listen, and the speaker has to actively speak. Don't get upset over misunderstandings, understand where the misunderstanding comes from and fix the problem.
Too often a person will expect their partner to read their mind. "Why won't he just buy me flowers!" is a common battle cry of women. Umm... maybe ask him? "Well, if I have to ask him, it's not the same." What does that mean? How is he supposed to know if you don't ask?
Also, being cryptic is another problem. "I want to be swept off my feet." Okay, I'll go get the broom and use it to trip you. Oh, not what you meant? Okay, what did you mean? Oh! Dinner and a movie! I can do that! What does that have to do with sweeping?
And if you *say* something, don't expect anything else to be understood. "Oh, sure, Honey, it's okay if you go out with the guys for the sixth night in a row, I'll be fine." Well then you'd better be!

Answer 3

I have been happily married for 10 years. The only secret I can tell you is we are honest with each other we make time to spend with each other. That don't mean that we don't have our problems but we work them out by talking and letting each other know that we love each other everyday. Good luck hope this helps some.

Answer 4

It's so easy to start out with a happy marriage. It takes a lot of work to grow together and keep the joy though. Not one thing on it's own can keep two people together. Communicate, spend time together, be open and honest with eachother, reach goals together, honor your marriage vows always, and, though romance may fade over the years, remember there are many different kinds of Love. True love grows and changes and is always a perfect bond. (As imperfect people though, expect to work out a few bumps in the road)
Both sets of my grandparents have been married for over 50 years, and are still very happy together. My parents celebrated their 25th anniversary recently, they're happier than ever. My husband and I are only married 6 months now, but we're prepared and looking forward to a long, happy life together.

Answer 5

We are very happily married! The reason (there can't really be one) is we keep Christ at the center of our marriage, we play sports together, talk often, laugh even more, and are completely and kindly honest with each other. Our love grows more each day!

Answer 6

Absolutely happy for over 22 years !!!

We are asked what our secret is often..... We laugh everyday at things in life that generally plss other people off. We make a point of playing little practical jokes on each other and even wink at each other from across the room. I treat him like a king and in turn I get treated like a queen. It is mutual and we love every minute of it.

Neither one of us ever puts the other one down in any way, shape or form. Respecting each others opinions and feelings only adds to the love and fun we share everyday !!

: )

aaaaaaaaaaaaaagh life is good !

Answer 7

I used to say separate bathroom sinks, and I still think that is critical, but more than that, with 15 years of marriage, I think we just got lucky that we have grown together not apart. People as they age change. Everyday we change a little. Life events change us in different ways. We have managed to adapt to each others changes, or even better, our changes have been even better for us as a couple. Granted not every minute or even every year has been 100% happy, we got through some tough times, and survived. We did not give up.

Answer 8

Yes. The secret is not to expect too much romance, too many gifts, or that they remember your birthday. If they forget, tell them and arrange for a dinner out. Being cool.

Answer 9

I am happily engaged (been in a LTR and we have a son so = marriage in my eyes) and my advice is to be willing to compromise. Both ppl have to give in from time to time so you have a feeling of equality in the marriage. Think of the other person as much as you think of yourself.

Answer 10

There is only one secret to a successful relationship and that is to have honest communication with each other. Without that, there is no foundation, no problem will ever be solved, no issue will ever be fixed...
