A guy was hitting on my wife, and my wife said she was married. The guy asked if she was happily married, and my wife answered, “I don’t know, but I’m married.” The guy concluded, “You’ve answered my question. Thank you.”

The only reason I haven’t asked my wife about it is that I’m waiting to see how the conversation will end. They’re still talking. So far, nothing serious, but I think the guy hasn’t given up interest in her. My question is, what makes a marriage a happy marriage?

We’ve been married for two years. We don’t have a child. If you ask me if I’m happily married, I wouldn’t hesitate to say that I am happily married. I go home to a wife who is happy to meet me. She does her duties as a wife, and I also do mine. We have unwritten rules, and these rules don’t affect either of us negatively. I know my wife; she would have said it long ago because she’s that vocal.

Our bedroom life is good, as far as I know. Sometimes she runs from me because, in her own words, “Don’t come and break me down. Tomorrow I will go to work.” That means I’m doing my job very well as a man.

We don’t go hungry. Our bills are paid on time. We don’t owe anyone anything. When we are bored at home, we go to places where we can have fun. Currently, the only thing I can point to as missing is a child, which we are hoping to have in the near future. We are not bothered about it. I don’t think we’ve had a conversation where a child became an issue.

I have a car. I had it even before we got married. My wife doesn’t, and we are planning to get her one. We are saving towards it. We are far away from the target, but life is time and tides. I believe she will own a car someday.

I don’t think we have any problems. We haven’t fought in a long time. We settle issues before they generate into a fight, so to me, we are supposed to be happy. But my wife can’t answer the question of whether she’s happily married and is still entertaining a man whose intentions are clear as day.

What Will Make You Leave Me After Forty Years Of Marriage?

I hope it doesn’t get to a point where it will jeopardize our marriage, but I’m asking the women here: what will make you hit your chest and say, “I’m happily married”? What should the color of the marriage look like before you believe your marriage is a happy color?
