Are there any happy marriages any more?

I am a romantic at heart and have had really bad experiences with relationships, I have had 3 failed marriages (all cheaters) and would just like to know if there is anyone happy out there with their marriage, give me some hope! Also how long have you been married for and what keeps you together and in love?

    Yes, there are, but you have to be able to be a good spouse yourself and truly want to be married. THEN you have to find the right person for you, meaning you are compatible on all of the important points. Then you have to treat each other well. Happy marriages don't just happen without effort. Someone who is always unhappy is extremely unlikely to have a happy marriage.

    Have you bee through therapy to figure out why you keep picking cheaters?

    Unfortunately, your pool of willing spouses will be somewhat limited because someone who wants a lasting marriage is going to be very wary of marrying someone who has been through three divorces, because the odds that a fourth marriage will last and be happy are slim, but if you get therapy and have a breakthrough, that can be explained to a potential spouse.

    I'm in a happy marriage, so yes, they exist.

    I guess my question to you would be, why are you attracting the same type of person? You do notice a pattern here, don't you? You attracted the same guy all three times, and there's something wrong with that.

    Get out of your comfort bubble and date someone that you wouldn't think you could date in the first place. I thought I was meant for the weepy artist type; the bad boys that you couldn't take home to mom; the type that worshiped music, was soft spoken; the introverts. I got out of the pattern because they were all LAME and not the kind of guy for me.

    So why did I end up marrying the all-American jock, boy next door, could totally take home to your mom, barbecuing, beer guzzling MAN? Because he was for me, and that was it. Pattern broken. And I've never been happier.

    There has never been a better time to put and end to the heartache of an unfulfilling relationship. You can rebuild the happiness and close connection, thanks to the life-changing techniques at https://tr.im/6e81D

    Marriage, like life, is a cycle of ups and downs. It's easy to say your marriage is in good health when the world around you is prospering, but when your fortunes turn and your world is in hardship, how you interact within your marriage can often paint an altogether different picture.

    hi,

    i feel really bad for you right now. All of my friends have parents that are divorced and are unhappy. I have to say though that my parents have been married for 19 years and are happier than any newly weds or dating coupple. they dont mind giving eachother a peck even if it is in public and my parents both are always looking out for eachother. when my dad goes to work at the office he writes my mom emails while working and they talk on the phone at least three times a day when he is at work even if it is just for a minute or so. dont give up. maybe you just havent found the right one. they are out there though. good luck <3

    I am going to take your advice about not emailing that chick, thanks for that advice. The single and married question.

    There is still a few happy marriages out there, they are just so few and far between. The way you keep it together and the love alive is through communication and letting the other one know you love them.

    I am happily married - my wife and I have been married for 26 years so far. Well, one thing that has kept us together and in love is that, unlike you, I married someone who is trustworthy. Seems to me that's where you went wrong, by marrying people for whom fidelity was not a personal value.

    there are many happy marriages out there which have worked out because of their trust and commitment towards each other. this worls isn't so small as to have limited types of people. don't worry you'll find someone someday who's made just for you.
