So as the title says really. What makes a happy marriage in your opinion?
After years of abuse with a previous partner I vowed I would never get married, (although the whole meeting a man and being welcomed into his family as a new member was a dream). Then I met a man who instantly became my best friend and we got married within a few months of meeting. Although our marriage/relationship is solid our family consists of the people who live in our house. My husbands family from day one had me down as a gold digger (although he has a crap job and no money so no idea where that's come from ). Non of his family came to our wedding aside from his mum and they've basically cut him off like he doesnt exist.
It hurts me to say it but I think that the relationship between him and his family is now beyond repair. But it leads me thinking about what others would say is the perfect marriage.
Is there even such a thing?
Also I'f you could change anything about your marriage or go back and do things differently what would they be and why?
Would you have any advice for your younger/older self?
