I was very happily married for 15+ years to my college sweetheart. Folks always said we were perfect together, a marriage that they looked to as perfect and it showed. Really happy, but sadly she got killed in a car accident. I was left single with 3 young kids. Spent a couple years alone without dating but finally decided I had to get out there and start seeing other women. Weird, but the third Woman I dated was everything I always wanted(she was divorced, also with 3 kids). Had 2 dates that first night and now, 23 years later, we are still remarkably happy. We have renovated 3 homes in that time, built a business and worked together, and now, being retired, we spend hours together and love it. I think unhappiness in marriage is a result of one of the partners or other wanting/expecting marriage to be a great cure for something that is either missing or lacking.
