lovelifesmile Posted November 21, 2015 Posted November 21, 2015 Hi everyone, i have question ... what is your meaning of happiness in a relationship? or what does it mean to be happy in a relationship? I want to know everyone's opinion and meaning of this.
Sunlight72 Posted November 21, 2015 Posted November 21, 2015 To me happiness in a relationship comes from a woman who is happy to see me, who I am happy to see, and who I can share fun parts of my life with. Someone who turns an ordinary (or dumpy) day into a happy day is a real gift. 1
Poutrew Posted November 21, 2015 Posted November 21, 2015 I can remember my parents, sitting on the deck in the back yard, eating a popsicle and watching the birds trying to take a sip of water from the spa without falling in. For others, taking a vacation meant getting into a plane and traveling to some exotic locale but for my parents, it meant literally stepping into the back yard... they created their own oasis of stability and love right at home. And, though they're both gone now, they never took a break from each other, nor had separate vacations in all the 30+ years they were married... That, to me, is my definition of happiness in a relationship. 2
Ic1 Posted November 21, 2015 Posted November 21, 2015 what is your meaning of happiness in a relationship? or what does it mean to be happy in a relationship? Relationships in my life are compliments to it. Not a center of my life. So a relationship compliments my life by making it better. (Happier) My best relationships have been someone I enjoy being around and am comfortable being who I am around them. (Don't need to keep anything from them). Sort of a best friend. Doesn't mean I spent most of my time with them, just when we have time together it's always a great time that I smiled through and it makes me smile afterwards thinking about it. 2
thecrucible Posted November 22, 2015 Posted November 22, 2015 We listen to each other and can talk to each other for hours. Someone who I know I can rely on, who supports and stands up for me when necessary and can cheer me up when I'm feeling sad. Someone who likes to go out and do things together as a couple. Someone who shows me affection every day. I feel like I can be myself and feel comfortable around him. He can cope with me not being 100% dolled up 24/7 and I can cope with him gaining a little weight. We appreciate each other and never takes each other for granted. We'd take care of each other when ill and share chores. Having a relationship where it's not all about being right and no one upsets each other for the sake of it. We'd have independent lives outside the relationship. To me, to be happy in a relationship it needs to enhance your life as it is, not to be the sole focus of it. At the same time we both know that relationships require work and we don't get complacent too often and let the relationship suffer. 1
Amalyn Posted November 22, 2015 Posted November 22, 2015 Someone who compliments my life and makes me a better person by just being in my life. I'm a believer that everyone deserves someone who loves and cares about them for who they are. They won't try to change anything about you because you will be everything they wanted already. 1
ExpatInItaly Posted November 22, 2015 Posted November 22, 2015 As others have said, a happy relationship compliments your life and enriches it. But I believe we really have to be happy with ourselves before we can truly be happy in a relationship; otherwise, the risk is that we're using the relationship to repair or mask or distract us from our own issues and wonder why it doesn't work. 3
