"Happy couple happy life If one is happy when the other is miserable I'd be very concerned. Although, even with that said I'm sure my hubby goes down the Happy wife happy life route some times. Probably for a peaceful life
Mrs xx"Maybe that would be a better expression then. A happy wife for a peaceful life  | |||

"I hate that expression - it implies that the males happiness is largely irrelevant." The thing is, once kids come into the picture, women in general have it hundred times harder than men, so they better be making our lives less miserable or it's not gonna work. It doesn't mean they are less important (well in a way they are, as now the kid is the most important) it just means we deserve all the attention/pampering because we gave up our lives to raise the demon spawn we created together | |||

"I hate that expression - it implies that the males happiness is largely irrelevant. Agreed. Exactly..! Should be: Happy Spouse - Happy House.!" Happy Wife Happy Life.......... we need to think about how it is being applied. As some have said it can be taken one way and male needs are negated BUT .... it can also be taken to imply that women want certain things and are NAGS if they don't get it therefore giving the husband ear ache and a job list to do. It CAN also be something simple like , he doesn't really give a tuppence ha'penny shit about the house etc and leaves the decision to her and there is no arguing as she gets her own way. This was me n my husband when the house needed decorating ........ he didn't give a toss about aesthetics so I chose all the decor and he did the donkey. If he had chosen anything i'd have laid an egg ! Our tastes were not similar. He was happy for me to choose and I was happy to have my own way. It's no different when choosing what's on the telly. If you really don't give a shit what you are watching you let the other person choose. Now cars....... I didn't get a say there , unless I bought my own. | |||

Men need to learn to so no sometimes when a woman demands something " He wasn't 'nice' he was an ordinary bloke who happened to get caught up with a controlling woman and took the line of least resistance. Either to make his life easier (it didn't) or because he was weak. Women mostly respect men who demonstrate qualities that deserve respect not because they have learned to say no | |||

Did you ever pull together like a team ?"At first we did. Life got in the way though - she was at home all the time with the kids (her _active_ decision which I had no problem with at all) and she just grew to resent me. She was always a forceful character - I like that because who wants a doormat as a partner? - and that got channeled into taking it out on me. Eventually I couldn’t take it anymore. I stayed for the kids and I remember one day my daughter who was only young just looking at me with complete pity when I had been on the end of a tirade and saying to me “Don’t worry daddy I will always love you.”. That killed me. | |||

All partners should be equal and the old fashioned mindsets are better for the past That's a very idealistic view and unfortunately hardly ever the case. Why is it idealistic? How is it hard to be equal partners in a relationship?" Because once you have kids nothing is equal, your income is not equal, your social life is not equal. I know at least a dozen women around me whose marriage didn't survive that stage because the husbands were not pulling their equal weight. The few who are still married are unhappy because they gave up those things above. | |||

I've always earned more and still do, we have one child of our own plus my son (we've been together since my son was 18 months old). My husband does the bulk of housework and DIY due to my acquired disability. I am the sole qualified driver and so am responsible for all driving, however far we go. We manage finances entirely jointly, have done since before we got married. We are both currently antisocial gits. We enjoy each other's company. During lockdowns, we worked in the same rooms, for the same organisation and lived together 24/7. We didn't argue. We were perfectly happy (aside the being unable to go out much). We're baffled by the description you paint of relationships. | |||

Ok you say its my opinion but when it comes to things like Valentines Day or special anniversary's and marriages you really telling me it benefits men? If so how?" Do those days or occasions 'benefit' women? I'd like to think the 'Happy Wife Happy Life' motto has it's origins from someone who feels happiness themselves from making their wife/partner happy by an action or gesture. I don't think it's about doing something they don't want to do just to make their wife/partner happy. J x | |||

We tend to celebrate anniversaries together, we don't take too much notice of Valentine's day but we sometimes buy each other a card. If marriage is of no benefit to men why do so many keep doing it? It's not as if they can't get sex until they've put a ring on it | |||

It's an excuse to look like you give a shit when you give your partner useless trinkets she doesn't need, when you don't pull your weight the rest of the time. The real benefit of relationships is seen in the statistics. Widowers die off much faster than widows. | |||

Depends if either of us needs anything. We do get each other cards mainly, though Mr KC didn't buy me a Valentine's card this year. We instead do something nice together. We take a day off work and have a day out or go away for a little break (usually with a child in tow). We've started taking our main family holiday at the Christmas period so that's our Christmas gift to ourselves and the family. We don't collect trinkets or stuff, we don't see the point. | |||

"I think that seeking happiness from another person is too much expectation. We should be making ourselves happy (self regulating) & sharing that happiness with each other. Also, fully open communication, working together as a unit to tackle all the chores, domestic labour, childcare, & giving eachother time to ourselves, etc. & playing to our strengths, is the way to maintain a relationship IMO.
