The only happy marriage I know I think the guy is a mung. Good lad, but he's too accepting and she's probably doubled in size and screeches wherever she goes. He is not happy, not sad, hardly any emotion at all. he was like that before he met her. Every other marriage I know of either ended, someone died (best case) or one or both are secretly miserable and hate the other. I used to be an idealist but I really think marriage is incompatible with modern society. Everyone pushes you to end it and there are no consequences. No ones wants to work on anything anymore, so why try to fix a relationship when it can be even more fun being newly single?
