A new study suggests that the happiest year of marriage is the third, do you agree ? What was your happiest? Why?
I'd say the current year is the happiest 🙂
Unless we're talking about my ex wife, in which case it was the year we were married but separated 😀
In the third year of our marriage we both quit work and went travelling around the world. Best year of my life, nevermind marriage.
happy days.
Can't say i ever really had one. It started badly and went spiralling downwards for 12 years. Think we were happiest before we were hitched.
I should have seen the writing on the wall...probably why I'm on this forum!
I don't think I could say which year was happiest. Ups and downs occur all the time for a wide variety of reasons. I find the idea that you can quantify something like happiness quite suspect - is there any information on what methods were used to measure happiness in this study? I'd be really interested to know more about where the study was done, who carried it out and for what reasons?
I only got married in August.... and been pretty happy so far.

Or alternatively you could see it just as a bit of fun, posted to prompt a conversation about relationships, join in and answer the question.

You are coming across as a little bit of a killjoy Joe.
This year for me, I try to make every year the happiest. We have our ups and downs but if you aim to make the present year the best you can't go wrong, can you???
Sadly not agree.... The third year my marriage ended!..
Mind you, without that i'd not have my new baby son...... Every cloud and all that 🙂

I posted a reply to this earlier today as i was interested in carrying on the conversation - seems to have disappeared from the thread though?!
Apologies if I came across as a killjoy! It wasn't meant but I can see how it may have seemed so. Maybe I had had a long day!
Babel, I like your idea of trying to make the current year the happiest - at the moment all is pretty contented here. As for the third year of marriage, we had a 1 year old baby son by then so it was probably the happiest but most trying at the same time.
As I am a research student I am genuinely interested in who did the the study and what they hoped to gain from it - can you direct me to any more info on it Gooner?
Cheers for now 🙂

We had a technical hitch last night and had to restore the site from the previous nights back up so all posts made yesterday have been lost. 🙁
colorados,
How long have you been married or in the relationship?
