Are you happy in your marriage?

do you think that marraige is all smiles and hugs ? no way , hard work , blood sweat and tears , if you want smiles hugs , go for the one night stands instead.

marraige is for people who want commitment , not for people who think that it is just for one person , it is like a love bank , if you dont invest in it , it goes broke

yes, very happy.

we work opposing hours so see eachother only a few hours a day and have a weekend together about every 6 weeks or so. So, we make those hours count.

We share the work load of the house work.

we share the expenses of the house and bills.

We make sure we both have our own $ so neither feels the need to ask the others permission to purchase anything under $50.

We make joint decisions regarding everything under the sun.

We share our daily dramas every day so neither goes to bed stressed out.

we laugh, a lot! and be silly.

We do special little things to make the other feel loved.

We keep the spark alive with flirting and joking around.

We have a date once a week where we dedicate the evening to the other person. During the date we aren't allowed to be glum or negative in anyway. We aren't allowed to vent or express our problems during the date. The date is just a time to love the other and keep our relationship happy and romantic and sexy.

We support the others decisions.

We make sure we both get what we want out of life.

Hello - It seems you may be having difficulty - especially in deciding whether to stay or go? I have been there and its hard.

My marriage was good to start but slowly got worse until very ugly. I eventually left and now I am very happy and a different person.

You need to set boundaries, once your partner crosses the line you will know it. When you dont love them any more you will know it. If you love your partner and he loves you it is worth the effort to resolve the problems you may have. Seek professional counselling if this is agreeable by both of you. You will discover if you have true problems or if they are minor.

No marriage is completely blissfull. There will always be hard times. You must appreciate that if you have got thru hard times before you can get thru them again. Unless they get worse.

The key ingredients to a happy marriage, I believe, are mutual trust, respect and security. If you have the same values and morales and enjoy fun times and get thru the serious issues, you should have a sucessful marriage.

I wish you luck as it is very difficult to decide what is best. Go with your heart. God Bless.

I have been married for 34 years. Most of the time I was unhappy, but I weathered the storm and we now have a fulfilling relationship (not perfect) and we have found a middle ground. Sex is better too.When I was young I wanted to leave but had two children and no money. Had I had a parents backing me, career and no conscience I would have left, however having none of the above. I stayed and am glad I did. If he had been violent I would have found a way out though.

I am really happy with my marriage. It is bcoz, there was a stage when I thought whether I would get married. My wife is with the opposite character sometimes but she thinks it in my way often. Marriage is a long journey where the couple need to understand each other, their strengths and their weakness and accordingly adjust. My married life has gone off for the past 15 years and I feel that so far so now i have lived happily though there were rubbings here and there.

Sometimes "Yes" - Sometimes "No". I was single for a very long time and did not marry until I got into my 50's. Therefore, its been hard to adjust to the routine of home life. On the other hand, this is my husband's third marriage. For his part - he's been married too much of his life and also finds the routine difficult.

I think that in any relationship it has its on again off again --runs hot then cold. This day and age when just about everything is disposalable--it takes more work to make a marriage or anything work.

To answer your question--some days are great and some days or not so great. Like I said it takes 2 to make it work. But the one thing that is a definate help is COMMUNICATION.

Marriage is a joke. Men r liars, can't keep anyone happy. i left my hubby of 4 years 2days ago. I was a confident person but not complete untill i met him. Now he changed into a egotistic selfcentered man, and i have no confidence left.

Never get married. Life is sucks and people are too.

No. I stay and this is my issue. I said I do, but my wife has developed mental and physical issues. I have not been with a woman for over two years and I'm getting antsy. However I give her what she needs and probably somewhat more. Sometimes things are not how they appear.

No because of many deal-breakers on his part. Things such as empty promises, wrong priorities, etc.

I do know he loves me and I love him. I am just a sucker and stay with him, because every time he makes a promise I believe him because he says it will change.

I'm probably just stupid, but I do love him. I'm overweight and I also know that nobody else will look at me, and I'm scared of being alone.

Not happy, my marriage is very one sided, he is selfish and i think he maybe cheating.... But marriage can be very good if you are both working together.... im still here until i can get a good enough reason to leave, for example if he is cheating and i have proof, then im going...
