Do you know any married couples who like each other?

I can only think of one but technically they aren't really legally married.

 

Yes.

 

Ha Ha,

no I do not.

 

A few, but not many. I would say it's mostly older people who are happily married. And I am not even referring to people my parents' age, but rather people in their 70 and 80s.

That generation hails from a time before the sexes were made to be at war with each other, and everything and everyone in society became more or less dysfunctional.

But I am the wrong person to answer this question since I honestly don't know many married people.

Marriage isn't something I could see working for me, no matter how much I loved the person. I just see it as an unnatural thing. And besides, it is a tradition that's rooted in religion, so go figure. That alone is enough to ruin any legitimacy it might have.

 

Unless they are pretending to be happy, yes...yes I do.

 

My grandparents. I've never seen a more disgusting posterchild for a loving, healthy relationship than what they have.

 

Yes.

I know several couples from various generations who seem happy.

I think people who are jaded and who have been hurt in love have a bad habit of assuming everyone must be like them, but that isnt the case.

 

Of course. My wife and I like each other, as do most of the married couples in our group of friends. We're older folks who married young.

 

I am happily married

 

But I have been unhappily married before

 

You divorced?

 

i know of no logical reason for those who don't.
if you say to make a home for children, that is fine,
except we live in a world into which too many children have already been born.

my parents marriage was made in hell,
but they had something to prove to their parents,
who were prejudiced against each other.

they really did care about each other, i believe,
but they also, as i also believe, secretly feared,
no one else would have wanted them.

this is not true of course, but the subconscious plays those kind of tricks.
my mother was filled with bitterness, she had reason for it,
my father i think, wanted instead of the mouse who retreated into television land,
a zoftic bruhild who could put him in his place.

well my mom found peace after my father died,
the wife i married was a great consolation to her,
though i have to admit being married wasn't the happiest time in my own life.

they're all three long gone now,
and i'm quite happy to live alone,
as long as conditions and circumstances permit me to remain doing so.

 

i never thought to ask.

a majority of the newlyweds i know seem to get along pretty well.

 

Yes.

 

Yes Many......And From Different Generations......



Cheers Glen.

 

Why do you assume that its about from a time before.

Do you think in the 1950s, there were people that thought only those that were married in the 1880s, 1890s were the only ones that were happy, before their perceived breakdown of societal values at their current time of the 1950s

You dont think in the 2060s there wont be people that think the same thing you just did, only people that were married back in the morally superior 2010s and are still together , are the only ones that are happy


Maybe it never has anything to do with the rest of society, and there is always a small percentage of the population with personalities and temperaments suited for being married to the same person for 50 years (submissive boring fucks ) whether it is 200 BC, 450 AD, the 1800s or 300 years from now

 

It always seems to be the types that at least want to believe they are happy that are the quickest with the oh, they must be jaded, must have been hurt thing though

And 90% of them time its women that say shit like that, the other 10% being guys saying it when they know their wives are listening

 

My grandmother didn't start acting happy until after my grandfather died.

 

For about the first year most married couples act like they like each other.

 

who hurt you boo

 

I dont think people are meant to be Together in the grand scheme of things and its impossible to like everything a person does But if you care about someone and they care about you thats the best your ever gonna get I reckon
Some call it Love but I dont know ?

Fukin ell I just read what I said there ! Hardly a joke in there ( worth mentioning )
