Question for married people?

Suppose you both give each other your partner top priority in your life. Will you eventually be happy and fulfilled?

Example of top priority :
1. Husband doesn't attent urgent work meeting because wife needs him.
2. Wife stops attending children because husband needs her

Stuff like that.

Here's, the thing, in this day and age, very few people believe in the sanctity of marriage. And those that do can't stay married. So it does not matter if you give one another devotion. I've only known 1 couple in my life that has gone the distance. Just 1. I hate to sound like a douche, but to many people only care about themselves. So to answer your question, it will very rarely ever work unless each one only cares about the others happiness. Sorry to ramble on.

@Stevy Absolutely spot on. It would be a horror to invest in one sided marriage.

@AN1991 I could go on for days about this but I won't, I'll just say this: All I ever here from people is ( he doesn't make me happy or she Doesn't make me happy!) When in order for it to work, we should be hearing ( what can I do to make him happy and what can I do to make her happy ). That's my opinion.

@Stevy That's true, instead of externalising then problems - let's internalize solutions.
