how was happiness defined That's what I would question. I know so many couples where "happiness" simply means "not divorced."

Frankly, this sort of data is ALWAYS very open to interpretation.

how was happiness defined That's what I would question. I know so many couples where "happiness" simply means "not divorced." I clearly recall thinking that we were very happy, when, we were actually living mostly independently of each other, and I wasn't attracted in the least to my husband. We had fun together at times, but we mostly spent time apart, and I liked it that way just fine. I was happy having my own life and yet married. We were more like room mates and business partners than an integrated married couple in love with each other. It still amazes both of us that we were fine being separated for long periods of time and how stupid and short-sighted we were for allowing that kind of independent lifestyle.
