If you are happy in a marriage what is the main reason you are happy with your spouse?

Answer 1

MAIN reason?

She's forgiving, patient, kind.

Not to mention sexy and intelligent.

Answer 2

BOTH partners should:

- Always be happy to see the person when you come home at th e end of the day. The interaction you have in the first 5 minutes will set the mood for the whole night. If you're home and you are watching TV and your wife is coming home from work and you just glance at the door and say "hey" then that's not good. Same if she does it to you. When I hear my fiance coming home I hear the lock and I jump up and run to the door to greet him. The other days of the week, he gets home before me, so I call him and tell him which bus I'm on and he'll meet me at the bus stop and walk me home.

- The person who gets home first should always look around the house and make sure it's at least a little bit clean. Make the bed, run the dishes, vacuum, and wait for the other person to come home. Of course you should rest too, but if you have time try and clean up a bit. Definately don't make any MORE messes. She shouldn't either. Of course, every once in a while it's ok - you can't expect perfection 100 % of the time.

- Ideally you could take turns cooking , or if one of you hates to cook, the one NOT cooking should do the dishes, take the trash down, etc. etc.

- Both of you should surprise eachother once in awhile. Since you both work you both have money. She can buy you your favorite fast food or a video game ; you can buy her flowers or a new dress.

- When one of you wants to complain about your day; the other should listen.. Some days she might have a bad day and want you to draw her a bath.. other days you might have a hard day and need a foot rub..

- If there are kids, both of you should take turns to watch the kids while the other partner can go out with friends. At least once a week get a babysitter and go out alone. At least once a week go out somewhere as a family - even if it's just to McDonald's or to the store.

- Always make sure things are equal. I usually don't cook, I clean only about half the time, do the laundry about half the time, and I hate running errands and taking down the trash. In return I make sure the bills are paid, appointments are made, help my fiance do his homework when he doesn't have time, I bring him a cold drink in the shower when he comes home from work, etc. etc.

Answer 3

Our marriage works because finally we each have someone that we can give our whole selves to. Someone we can finally give all the love that we have to. We value one another's happiness over our own, and we are devoted to helping one another live the fullest, most abundant life possible, and to help one another become the best person we can be. That is the mark of a true friend. I am lucky enough to have married my best friend.

Answer 4

I am happy because I just am, In my opinion love is a choice you make every day, regardless of what life throws at you, I choose to love him every day,and the same for him, I believe that everyone has the perfect match, he is mine.....just as Eve was from Adams rib, and made just for him, I believe that my husband and I were made for each other. Sounds sappy, but it is the honest truth, I really dint think I could ever love another like I do him.

Answer 5

I am happy. I've been married 13 years, and I trust my husband. We don't agree on everything, but we do respect each other, and we have a good marriage. Trust is my biggest issue, and I can tell you without it you have no kind of relationship. (This is my second marriage.)

Answer 6

Yes I am in a happy marriage because we are in love.

Answer 7

I am in a serious relationship but not married, but my bf makes me laugh everyday, We cannot even have a serious fight cause he makes me laugh. We have been together for 3 yrs and laughter is an everyday thing for us.
He can make a killer pan of lasagna, too. This man cleans everyday and cooks atleast 3x a week. He is freakin awesome.

Answer 8

I am happy because I choose to be happy, it's not my husband's responsibility to make me happy, we have to be happy with ourselves in order to have a happy marriage. My husband makes me feel good with love, and compliments, but it is my choice to be happy.

Answer 9

We are happy because we have the love, respon-
sibility and committment towards each other and
that is what it takes to make a marriage work.
20yrs and counting.

Answer 10

Mutual respect

Honest communication

Trusting each other to have the best interests of the family foremost

Spontaneous, fun, romantic, playful, slightly naughty grown-up time ;-)

Answer 11

Married 13 years w/ 4 kids...I trust him and only him, before ANYONE. He and I have been through tough issues and he ALWAYS stood by me. He is the light of my life.
