What're the parameters to determine whether a marriage is happy?

People often talk about happily married couples. But how can someone know whether a couple is really happy or not! I mean, most of the couples do not like to openly declare their pain-points to others. I feel it's others or outsiders who declare their verdicts through superficial knowledge, which is an absolutely logic-less talk. What do you feel?

if the couple have children, it is very easy to know if the marriage is comprised of a happy couple. happy couples have happy and contented children in their household. therefore, for those who are interested to know some happily married couples, go find those ones where happy and contented children are being raised.
the reason behind this? only happily married couples can produce happy and contented children because, these types of children can only be reared by parents who are responsible and takes time to spend on their children - taking care of them and showering them with all the love they've got. for only love begets love.

No doubt it is a good answer. But the children may be kept happy by other elderly members of a family too. I mean grand father, grand mother, uncles and aunts.
Secondly, parents may not reveal facts to children, the may not like each other but act to do so in front of the others. What about that?
Thirdly, all couples may not have children. I know a few people, they married to just live together without begetting children because they won't be able to spend time for them. Both are at the apex of their career. Does this mean they are bound to be unhappy?
