I know many, many folks who just stay married for the children, I am one of them. I stayed the course for the sake of the children, my stereo system, my assets, etc. Simple economics in a business relationship is the only reason that we are "celebrating' our 31st anniversary next week.
I know I am not alone, I've spoken with many, many others who are in the same boat. Happily married is an oxymoron, like Jumbo Shrimp or Army Intelligence. I do agree with three_sox that at some point in the marriage everyone was happy. I can't say all 31 years have been hell. The first 5 years were pretty good.
I have a friend who swears the secret to a happy marriage is that the man has to cheat. That way the man is happier, though he does feel a bit guilty. Therefore he treats his wife better, ergo she is happier.
I never tried this route due to religious beliefs. Perhaps he is right, who knows?
