Why do so few people find happiness in marriage?

I think that it is a reflection of todays society. People want the best of everything without having to work for it or wait for it. People want the glamour of a wedding and they want the perfect relationship but they don't realise how much work it is to actually be in a marriage or maintain the marriage.

I think you are wrong about few people hacing happy and loving marriages. I think a lot of people do. The ones that are right for each other. A relationship should be a give and take relationship. Not always being the one to give and not getting back in equal ways, but receiving the same as we give out. That is what makes a happy relationship, in my opinion. We need to be compassionate to our spouces and we need to recieve compassion as well.

in my opinion, marriage life is one of the different type of relationship. because in this relationship man and woman should have to promise to each other for life long relation. i don't know what do you think, but now a days people don't think about any relationship and most important thing is honesty, and trust is very necessary for any relationship, and now a days professionalism is every where. But some people are still believe in honesty and true feelings, i think thats why ..

I think a lot of people think that marriage will smooth the problems in a relationship with problems. it doesn't. after the wedding, nothings really changed. the relationship still has the same problems. marriage won't make a bad relationship good, and lack of marriage won't make a good relationship bad.
