  Happily Ever After? Indeed

  A new survey reveals some telling facts about marriage in America.
  
  Marriage has been taking a hit in the headlines recently. Everywhere you look, couples are cutting that knot. Yet the outlook for marriage in this country may not be as bleak as you thought, if the results of a new survey from Parade magazine are any indication.
  
  Parade polled 1,001 married Americans aged 18 and over and found some contradictions to the otherwise bleak news about marriage. For starters, a whopping 88 percent of participants reported being either happy or reasonably content in their marriages. Another telling statistic? Over half of the couples said they were happy in their marriages, half of them using words like “joyful” and “loving” to portray their marriages. What’s more, 71 percent of couples said they’ve stayed married because of deep love while 73 percent cited companionship.

  THIS IS THE BEST NEWS I’VE READ IN A LONG TIME, LETS NOT LET ANYONE DOWN!
