How to become a happier person?

Ok first no rude answer's please !I am 48 years old I have had a very hard life and been hurt allot .I just need some tips on things that might help me to learn how to be happy and have happy thoughts and how to love me and be happy with me,I have been told I cant find happiness in my husband I have to find my own happiness.So any thing you can say to help will be appreciated.

Update:

Im with my husband for a year now,But we do not have normal relationship there is NO intimacy at all in our marriage.No I did not know this at first he is 60 and this did not show up until after we was married now he just say's he is old and that is not the person I thought I was marrying,Im just what you say content in my relationship some what.I all my life worked hard and everything was a struggle and now it is so much better that way,But I feel I need more for me .because I am a very big person on touching and cuddling and I miss those things so bad.But this all goes along with the top question/

    I have only one tip for you.Forget thinking about 'happier person' and continue working'. you will forget yourself! then nothing remains like a happier person!

    God is all the happiness you will need. Enjoy life with friends and family and appreciate that you are alive and health. Thank him and accept him...He will make your life happier.

    Good luck:)

    okay first things first!! stop thinking that you are not happy right now!!

    next, you said you have been told you can't find happiness in your husband,. but you live with him..right?

    ppl generally don't feel happy if they r happy themselves, they feel happy when they can make others(the people they love) happy..and women feel this sense even more.. if you relate your happiness with your husband..try to make him happy n if you love him you'll make yourself too happy!!!.. all the best!!
