What is your definition of a happy marriage?

Or do you even believe in it? Why or why not?What is your definition of a happy marriage?
A shared love and mutual respect. Someone who's qualities compliment my own. Someone with whom to make a partnership and team, not a constant adversary always vying for the upper hand. You and me against the world, and the world doesn't stand a chance.What is your definition of a happy marriage?
The number one requirement is a great friendship. Someone that you are buddies with, someone you would rather talk to and hang out with than anything else. (not all of the time, but most of the time, other friendships are highly important also) Laughter, and the ability to laugh at oneself. Cooperation and communication are key....working together at solving problems through discussion is soooooo important. Asking for what you want, but also listenting to what they want, really listening.





In disagreements it is so vitale to ask what YOU can do to help or change the situation. A lot of us miss that part. What can I do right here, right now....





Relationships are hard work most of the time, as many people here already know. It's just whether it's worth the work or not that has to be decided.
My husband %26amp; I....


You have to have trust, friendship and the ability to put up with each others annoying habits.


You also have to have a high level of patience and understanding. You have to respect one another, believe in one another and have each others back.


You have to be in love with each other.


It's alot of hard work...BUT IT CAN BE DONE!
I believe that a person can have a happy marriage, but definitely not a perfect marriage. I am not married, but this is how I'd like it to be: to have a person beside you that can fully understand you, that won't doubt you, that won't lie to you or do anything behind your back, to make your day with only one smile or one look of his/her eyes. Two persons who love each other unconditionally and that will do anything for each other, they will have kids together, and if they can't, they will adopt, they would go through anything together and miss each other whenever they're not together.





They will have their bad moments, too, because that makes happy moments even happier, it's because of bad moments that they will appreciate everything they have together. Having bad moments is the difference between happy marriages and perfect marriages, because the perfect ones are just to boring, and every kiss and every hug is much more sweeter after those two people find a way to work it out. They will grow old together and they will still love each other like the day that they met.





This wasn't nearly as poetic as I hoped, but you get the point.
A happy marriage is one in which both spouses live their own lives and put them together. Neither one should dominate over the other in any way and neither one should depend on the other financially. Both should partake in raising the kids and maintaining the home.
