I have a very happy marriage and friends who keep my feet on the ground. But looking for satisfaction in life is difficult. Maybe being happy is as simple as not being unhappy.

Only married people understand you can be miserable and happy at the same time.

It is better to be unhappy in love than unhappy in marriage, but some people manage to be both.

I've done an informal, anecdotal survey about marriage, and I've found no evidence that it brings happiness.

I have found that the only thing that does bring you happiness is doing something good for somebody who is incapable of doing it for themselves.

Happiness in marriage is entirely a matter of chance.

There's only one way to have a happy marriage and as soon as I learn what it is I'll get married again.

I have known a few good marriages, but very few. And others look to me like they're pretty miserable. I don't really think that's a recipe for happiness.

Always remember that the most important thing in a good marriage is not happiness, but stability.

Happiness depends more on how life strikes you than on what happens.
