who told u dat ? n where do u get ur statistics from? Few complaints from married couples doesn't mean dey r nt happy. Just b sincere n also b ready to make sacrifices for each other .every other things will fall into place

The question the OP asked can be used to get people's opinion on whether they are happy or not in their marriages.

I used a standardized questionnaire on a study some 2-3 years ago on 530 participants from three cities. I also used certain couple-based scales with high internal consistency.

About 98% of those whom I sampled (men and women) were unhappy in their marriages. Mind you, I controlled for age and other such demographic variables and years of marriage, so all those things had nothing to do with it. Sex, age and years of marriage played no part in how unhappy my participants were in their respective marriages.

Moreover, my scales had relatively shorter items, and it was very obvious that there were no central tendency bias.

It is one study I would like to do again, though. But I have the feeling that the result would be worse than the first.

Greatdre:
The little research I made also showed that many people are not happy in their marriages but will come public to display their marriage or spouse as the next best thing. A woman can be receiving consistent beating from the husband on a daily basis but would still display her husband to the outside world as the best man on earth. Thats the kind of society we find ourselves. Nobody wants to be ridiculed for having a bad spouse or union.

A dead on research.

Am Happy for the happy people.. wish you more happiness..

She understands every situation around us , she's happy with whatever I'm happy with and vice versa, yes yes and yes , i will marry her if I'm given 10th opportunity.

In the world is good and evil.
I also noticed that many people in good marriages don't talk too much. Not all spouses, male or female are abusers. The devil always tries to discredit what God intended to be good, so people will be afraid to embrace it.

OH........ Yes

I'm not married now but the lady in my life is just so special that I've promise myself to take her to the altar by August.



Baby m. I love you forever

cococandy:
Doesn’t matter what anyone says on this thread, Nairalanders will believe whatever they want to believe. People act like that love to see happily married people but they actually derive more joy from other people’s sadness.

Cue the sad threads that attract more attention versus the good marriage ones which at best are boring for these spectators or as usual will seem like show off to them.

OP there are happily married people everywhere. Yes even on NL. They may not come to this thread to tell you about it. But yes there are.

You are very correct my sis. I even quoted the same researcher you just quoted. I said many happily married people don't talk too much. The devil always tries to shame what is good.

cococandy:


Like this one.

If you share any bit of your life that seems good in public, “researchers and truth seekers” won’t stop looking holes in it to convince themselves that you must be unhappy somehow.

Same thing that came to my mind when I read that stuff he wrote. And he was even the one that opened the thread. Probably looking for sad stories.

Not married yet but pray to marry right

see ur name sef..IDIOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
.

IdioticNLmods:

Cheat on him na.. I love fuckin married women

If am to marry again I will still marry my wife she makes marriage so easy for me the mother of my children!

KingSatan:


I knew I would meet your kind.

This is not a thread to breed competition or promote hypocrisy.

You woman are good at dropping lines like these in order to portray the luckiest woman on Earth.



I have been married for over 3 decades and I can say "Marriage is beautiful if both of you love each other truthfully" and are determined to make your marriage work. Though it's not a smooth sail but with a determined spirit, you will conquer all.


You will sometimes fight your extended family because of that woman you love and cherish. Marriage is not for the feeble heart.

I remember one time, I looked straight in her eyes and I saw a helpless woman. I stood up to my late uncle's and told them never to insult my wife again or I stop bearing their surname and cut ties with them forever.


I could remember when i slumped, my wife was crying like I child. I woke up to her screams and tears.

I love my wife and I am without any doubt that she loves me too. I married her because I couldn't imagine living so far away from such beautiful soul. I wanted to have her all to myself and I succeeded.

Today, I don't see the curves (Of course I wasn't interested in all that when I married her) and she isn't seeing the albs, afro hairstyle etc but she is still my "Sexy Amigo".

I will marry her over and over again if given a chance.


PS: Don't even think money brought us together. I was still trying to find my place in this world when I met her. She told me "I believe in you"

After my mother, no one else except her said those words to me.

I held on to those words and today, it's all history.

Standing ovation!! I said it, many people in happy marriages don't talk too much.

Yes, I will marry him again

No... No I rather remain bachelor for Life.. [color=#000099][/color]
