Some must be interested to know what the secret of a happy married life is. I just want to remind them that it is still now a secret and if anyone can discover this secret, he is sure to win the Nobel Prize for the year in the category of ‘peace’. Do you also think so?

There is no one who can tell that that particual secret which is reavealed can be the actual secret of the happy maried life of eveyrone. Many couples have diffrent secrets for their happy married life.

Yes, there is no single secret which may be treated as universal. For your kind information, it is a kind of joke. So don't take it seriously.

It depends on what you can call a happy marriage. If you think that there is possible to live a few decades next to a person just smiling and not having any single sad moment, then this is IMPOSSIBLE. But it is very possible to have a nice life, with lots of happy moments and everything what it is in. My grandparents are married for 53 years now, and they don't regret it. If you ask them, they will certainly say that they have had a happy marriage till now and since they don't really have too much time left, I guess it will be valid for the rest also. The secret is accepting the other like he is and to be able to make compromises when needed. That will guarantee a happy marriage.

That is true, but if a couple claims after so many years that they have had a happy marriage, even if it is an "illusion", I can accept this. The perception is important, not the proofs.

There is nothing 'absolute' in this universe, everything is 'relative'. The meaning of 'happy' is therefore 'relative' and depends totally on the married couple themselves.

The secret to a happy married life is to put God lst in ur home. the husband is to luv his wife as Christ luved the church. Christ luved the church so much that He gave his life for it & the wife is to luv her husband. God lst, husband or wife second, then family, then job.

Secrets of happy marriage, which is applied in one partner, may not be applicable to other couples. Each partner, has its own way, to make a marriage happy. Happiness can only be created by each person, can not imitate other people's happiness.

I don't think that there is an overall secret to having a happy marriage. I think the secret is different for everyone. For one couple the secret may be trust, and for another couple the secret may be spicing up the marriage every once in awhile. I really think it depends on the parties involved. What may be the secret to a happy marriage for me, may not be the same for someone else. I jut think it varies.

The secret of a happy married life is this "Do Not Get Married." Thats the secret. It never works out, only in rare cases. Listen to me, I know what I am talking about.

It isn't a secret , it differs from couple to couple. The problem is that many couples just assume they agree on the path things are going to go and then they marry and find out they have completely different views on life and what this word marriage Really means. I will never marry because the word marriage means slavery. I'm lucky my guy Heard and understood my words about marriage so we will never marry.So I think the Huge secret is to communicate. Talk it All out.

I don't think they will win the Nobel Prize but to have a happy marriage you must first be friends and respect one another. Too many people lust after the other and think that is love. They jump into marriage and then with the lust subsides and they have nothing in common they want to divorce. If they would slow down alittle and get to know one another first they would end up alot happier.

It's hard work just like any other human relationship. Keeping true love in your heart as a gift to your spouse and the golden rule, do unto others as you would have them do unto you.

Marriage is a huge responsibility. It is work. It takes communication to make it work. Not just any communication, but open communication, and plenty of it. And both people showing that they care for one another. You know, as a Christian, I believe that marriage is a union in which God brings a male and female from two different families together and the two become one. I believe that we should take those vows seriously, or we shouldn't get into it. That being said, I love my wife very much. And I am still learning how to be her husband. We've been married four years. We've had our share of battles. One battle almost led to divorce court. But we were willing to both admit that we had our own part in it, instead of placing the blame totally on the other person. Pointing fingers inevitably leads to the destruction of this beautiful, God-given union. It leads to going to bed angry, which, indeed, is a recipe for disaster. So being quick to forgive is a good principle to follow. Also, not having to be right all the time and knowing when to keep your trap shut is helpful.

In my opinion about a happy marriage is that to have fear with God. Grasp the commandment of God and live in what he says about marriage...If people really does what God says about marriage I don't think couple will suffer the differences and think about divorce or separation... Couples did not successful in their marriage because others did not have fear with God and does what he or she wants which is against the rule of God and the law of men...

I am not interested in winning Nobel Prize. But it is my experience that trust and faith in each other is the secret of happy marriage life. It is foundation of marriage life. So to success in marriage trust and respect each other.

I know a lot of people who's marriage aren't perfect but they somehow worked it out and they are genuinely happy. They claimed to have found the secret but it's actually a case to case basis. Such secret won't be applicable to all kinds of marriages because each of us have our own personality and what might work for others might not work for us.
