My wife and I have been together for a long time... but just being honest... we weren't always in a happy marriage. That's why we separated for 18 months. Cleaned up some of our individual issues... gave it another shot... and I can say we are happy 90% of the time these days... and I think that is a win. A poll asked people to name the top signs of a happy marriage... Do you agree with this list? Do you do these things in your marriage? I will score mine...
1. Spending lots of quality time together. YES... We prefer hanging together
2. Taking care of each other when you're sick. NO... I'm a fixer but she flies solo
3. Feeling like you can be yourself with them. YES... All the time!
4. Encouraging them to pursue their own hobbies and interests. YES... Sometimes they are the same
5. You let them see you at your best, and worst. YES... Hard to avoid that one
6. Cuddling. NO... Not our thing really
7. Being respectful to them in front of other people. YES... with the usual jokes thrown in too
