I suspect none of them were particularly happy either, though i'm sure you'll swear that you all sing the theme song to the Mickey Mouse club nightly.
Every body i know that is married is not happy.
You can love someone EVERY BIT AS MUCH without being taxed by the state for a marriage license. That's all marriage is...a government intrusion. Love is real. Marriage is an artificial construct.
Love does not require marriage to function, though the introduction of marriage often causes love to transform into hate.
Short of a tax break, i see absolutely no upside to marriage whatsoever.
