I can HONESTLY say that I only know of ONE.....ONE....person in my entire LIFE that is happily married! What is THAT all about??

Is there anyone ELSE out there that is HAPPILY married...and what is your formula??

I'ma stay singular and avoid plural foe life!!!!! divorce court sucks

Most people have been happily married...at one point.

You're not a vicar, are you.

i ain't married, but i know shit loads of people that are happily married.

I wasn't happily married, and I'm not now... but, I do think that most people tend to jump into marriage more quickly today than they should and they find themselves very unhappily married all of a sudden and wondering why.

I also feel that a lot of couples tend to think that marriage is supposed to be a bed of roses 99% of the time, when really, no marriage is and never will be. The couples that I know, that are completely happy with their marriage, are those who tend to push aside differences that they have with their partner and love them, pretty much, unconditionally.

I consider myself to be Happily married!


All I know is,,I "dated" alot,,,got tired of it, & stopped, & that was when I met my hubby. We had alot in common, plus he's the NICEST guy in the world!!!

Just talk to each other, hold hands, play in the sun...& most important,,,COMPRAMISE(sp)

Happily Married here!

It ain't easy, but it's better than the alternative, being Fuckin' married!
I would never stay in a marriage if it were that bad...being happily single is
quite possible.

Fuck marriage.....

(do i sound bitter??)


oh yeah, divorce court does suck.....

Singular for life.....

Happily married here too. I spend time apart from my husband every day most of the day and I am thinking of him a lot. We've been together 10 years, so surely it's a good sign! He still says to me sometimes "I can't believe you picked me!" and I feel the same way. We have 2 kids (and one one the way) and we are working towards the same goals in life, and being together is every day's reward for all our hard work.

trust....and lotsa sex

I love my wife all my heart . I could not imagine not being with her. At the same time she Is the one person who knows how to make me mad as #$@$%.

oh yeah, and like babygirl said....losta sex.....

Oh, I know my bed stinks. That's part of the reason why my husband and I don't live together right now and are still contemplating divorce. I was one that thought marriage was supposed to be a bed of roses the majority of the time... and I got married too young. So, I had both of those against me. Then... everything else went wrong! Out of the eleven years I've been married, the last year was one of the best for us (in my opinion... partially in his opinion)... and we just so happened to not live with one another!

i'm not married, nor have i ever been, but i am close friends with many married couples, and have watched my mom and step dad for years now. my mom and real dad were NOT happily married. (mainly b/c he cheated on my mom, but there was other stuff than that) my mom is very happily married now, and most of my friends are happily married now. it seems like from what i've observed that those who are happily married are the ones who apply bible principles about marriage in their life. i only hope and pray that i find a wonderful man who will do that with me. am i setting my sights too high? i hope not.

ut oh....Dex is getting cold feet....

Baby...we'll be happy...I promise!!!

That's kind of sad. Does this peron know their spouse isn't happy also?

Happily engaged. We have our bad times, but we're a great team and we get along so well that I hope to be happily married some day soon.

What's this about getting married too young? I was engaged at 17. Unfortunately that all went to hell when my fiancee lost his mind... But I'm 20 now and happy to be engaged again. Maybe I'm just weird...

What happened Jersey? Let a veteran help out.

I'm still happily trying to figure out if its better to put my spouse out of her misery before or after the divorce. Everyone is telling me that revenge is much sweeter after, but then again you're never really legally 100% divorced nowadays. Heck just a few days ago I found out I was still legally married.

I think some people tend to think marriage will automatically be better than single life when in truth there are things gained and lost.

Even in the best circumstances, in a good marriage one might say, there are going to be sacrifices that are made and lots of pain. It's just that ultimately if u can get it right I think u can be happier in marriage than u ever could be single (not in everyone's case of course).

Just my opinion.

It seems that half the time in marriage u are actually opening yourself up to greater pain, are in search of a better marriage constantly, and never quite get 'there'. But, in the good times marriage can be something incredible that should not be missed out on while here on earth. There can be an incredible feeling of strength and warmth in marriage. U just have to be willing to work for it - marriage is hard, plain and simple.

For 'marriage' read long, long, long term relationships too.

I'm happily fucking married, kinda.

It sounds like the same thing I have, except I have a wife and not a husband.

Married 18 yrs here,,,

I like being married,,,although, there are times when I miss certain aspects of single life~~ When i was single I could be totally selfish & NOT feel guilty! I could sit on the sofa buff naked, eating pizza,,,with MY favorite toppings,,& whipped cream right out of the can! (if I wanted)

Go to the bathroom with the door OPEN~ Eat with my fingers~ Pick my nose,,(if I wanted)
~~~Sleep till 2:pm~~
But at least I dont have to do the singles bar scene...nothing worse than getting hit on by Losers that wont take NO for an answer~~ Not to mention getting herpes~ eeewwwww~~

Im wondering if Sleeping apart has anything to do with a happy marriage? Hubby snores like a pig,,(talks in sleep too),,& im in the spare bedroom on most nites~ hey,,I need a decent sleep!!

It keeps things fresh~

I'm happily married, but I'd be just as happy if I weren't married, and our secret (or one of them, anyway) is to give up on monogamy.

So prolly don't listen to me.

I think particularly in this day and age, romantic love remains a higher ideal than marriage. That's why you get so many unhappy marriages. Romance of the highest order is almost a prelude to living unhappily ever after. True romance is the opposite of a fairy tale. So whilst going out dating may often lead to marriage, marriage itself is not always romantic. By contrast, dating often leads to romance, which rarely ends in marriage. Its like wanting your cake and eating it. If you do, then you're a perfectionist! It's cool to aspire to that, but enduring love is few and far between. If you have ever experienced true romance, you are both lucky and probably somewhat unhappy because it didn't last. If you have ever experienced lasting marriage, you are both lucky and probably somewhat unhappy because it's not always romantic enough for you.
