I don't think its a good idea to seek happiness outside marriage. If once got marry then we should be honest to our wife/husband. It is first rule in marriage. If u r not happy u can do like spend time with same gentle friends and u can pull yourself for sometime and you have to go back your own wife/husband. Have to give time to ourself and our marriage. I am sure nothing will go wrong. Better not hurt emotionally because other person still might loving so much.

Marriage are made in heavens by almighty lord.To live a happy married life both husband and wife should have full trust on each other. Although life is full of sorrow and happiness. After marriage we should create love for each other.I don't think that it is good to seek happiness outside marrige , what ever you have just satisfy for that. We should be honest to our husband.

Hi munni9196, by the way you sound, looking for happiness outside marriage sounds like having an extra-marital relationship. Now that is not a solution at all and is too bad. If one has got friends then they could go out together and have some quality time but then again, not completely neglecting their family. Marriage is not a small thing so it's not a joke to choose to be with the person you wanna spend your life with. Why not have the one who will never let you miss out on anything?.. Good day.

I think when one is not happy in a marriage the person should stop looking for a solution first and try to analyze the problem in the marriage itself to see where there is a hole which is causing such ans such problems then only can someone find some ways to make everything normal again and instead of seeking outside the marriage he/she can find happiness inside also.

Hi Munni,
I believe in the sanctity of marriage. However I don't believe that you should stick with it if it makes your life miserable. Once you've decided that marriage is not working, it would be best to leave. I don't approve of infidelity, no matter how justified. If you want a relationship with someone else other than your spouse, better come clean first by getting a divorce, annulment, or legal separation (whichever is allowed in your country).

Seeking happiness from outside marriage is not a solution.
Seek what is wrong inside the marriage and try to resolve is the best way.
If there is no possibility of mending a rocky marriage life,then,sit with your partner and have heart to heart talk.
By then,you can find a better way for a better solution.
Have a good day always

when i married my husband, i did not only make a commitment to him but i also entered into a commitment with the Lord. i was aware that our marriage would be far from perfect and i am also aware that we would keep on falling short of each other's expectations.
we do have a lot of problems and sometimes, the physical happiness would not surface but i am so glad that God has given us joy that does not depend on circumstances.
so to answer the issue, seeking happiness outside of marriage is not an option. the person who does this instead of finding happiness may end up finding trouble.

Marriage is suppose to be a life time commitment, yada yada, yada... We all know that things usually do not work out the way we anticipate. There are times when it just doesn't work no matter how much you sacrifice and or compromise.
So with regards to seeking outside not a very good idea, it is best that if a person and or both in the relationship are just not happy and just can't work things out it is best to severe all ties and get out. Seekinging happiness behind a partners back will not bring happiness it will only bring on temporary pleasure but the true probability of working things out within the marriage is done for good.

try to work it out. try the best you can, talk to each maybe or a councilor could help. we mst believe that everything bad can create a good opportunity by being positv and calm. if your lonely or lonesme, one must take a step to get himslf out of lonliness that is creating a new path to be happy again. it your unhappy with your marriage, dont stop believing, dont look for another happiness outside of marriage, coz that cud create another regrets.

Seeking happiness outside marriage.For some some people marriage is happiness and for some is not.If there is good understanding among husband and wife there is happiness in the families,but know a days I don't see most of the people happy with there marriage,because we can't trust some people.Understanding is most for happiness.

I think that there are alot of reasons to why people are not happy in their marriage aswell as there are alot of reasons to why people look else where for something that is missing in their marriage.I find that there are also people with open marriages.There are people out there that stay in their marriage for the sake of their children aswell.

Marriage is a life time commitment. It entails great sacrifices. One should know this before getting married. But we also know for a fact that there is no such thing as perfect relationship. Problems are always there, temptations are everywhere, outside forces can be a threat to the couple.If any of the couple give in to all of these then definitely they will seperate. If the couple will work hand-in-hand, be contented with one another, and place God as the center of such relationship, then, there is no room for any separation

True love would never seek the spiritual downfall of another .God wants more than what you want yourself. This requires great faith, and I don't think there are many people who can do this.happiness is not having what you want, but wanting what you have.This requires a great humility and a great desire to do whatever you have to do in order to find the happiness within yourself and return you will make your partner happy. I don't think that you should ever look for anybody other then yourself to make you happy.
