Nor is it incompatible with a best case scenario for over all quality of life for all involved. This may be hard to discern at times,more or less, depending on the people involved.[/quote]
Maybe I’m in denial… but I think you can be very happy when you find a person who’s a good partner in child rearing (if you have kids), financial endeavors, hobbies, travel. The key is being on the same page on the big stuff – money, kids, commitment.
But if the couple is out of balance on commitment (cheating), money (a spender vs a saver), or child rearing (strict parent vs lenient parent)… happiness is definitely doable.[/quote]
That last paragraph of mine came out wrong. Doh.
I meant that happiness was doable if you’re on the same page. It’s MUCH harder if you’re out of balance in any of those areas.
