On Oprah today, I watched as she did a segment on the women living in Copenhagen, Denmark. I was struck by the comments of one particular woman. She is tall, lean, blonde, forty-four years old, and enjoying her singleness.
Denmark has been named by researchers as the happiest country in the world. There is free health care, free college (as a matter of fact, students are actually paid to attend college), a year paid maternity leave, and four years support if you lose your job.
How is this paid for? A 50 percent tax rate. Yet these beautiful women that Oprah interviewed were glowing with happiness. The forty-four-year-old single woman commented that because she is financially secure, she doesn’t need to be married to be happy. Oprah described how different it is in the States were women obsess over being married. Or better said, they obsess about GETTING married, not being married.
That really got me to thinking. I have two friends who are desperate to be married. Beautiful, intelligent–actually tall, lean blondes in their thirties who are so anxious about NOT being married that they are a wreck.
Physical symptoms like TMJ, ulcers, and even hemorrhoids are torturing their lovely young bodies as they go from man to man–literally exhausting themselves in the search. Here is the time when they are young, strong, and vibrant beings and they are not enjoying a bit of it.
I am fifty-six. My body is changing shape. Hair is growing from places that it shouldn’t be. My energy and stamina is also changing and dictating what hobbies and activities I can do. I have hot flashes that melt off my makeup and wilt my hairstyle. (And you thought I cut my hair to be stylish! Ha!) I am happier than I have ever been.
I am also married and I am grateful for that and enjoy being married completely, even though there are days that I miss the total freedom of being single. Ironically, my single clients pine for my married status, mistakenly thinking that being in a couple is the key to happiness.
Happiness is not tied to our circumstances. Happiness is a point of view. Not many of us would like to be paying 50 percent of our income to the government and yet research shows Denmark to be the happiest country on the planet. That makes you think, doesn’t it?
If you are single and unhappy, I can tell you one thing for sure. Unhappiness is VERY unappealing. How fun is it for you to be in the presence of grouchy, complaining unhappy people. In order to attract the relationship of your dreams, you must find happiness first.
There really is nothing more attractive than a happy content person. It isn’t marriage that brings that–it is YOU.Now, would you rather be Happy or Married?

I've been happily married, un-happily married, happily single, and un-happily single. You can bet your butt I would also be smiling from ear to ear, married, or not, while in Denmark, the brain dart capital of the world.

I was happy when I was married, so they are not necessarily two separate things!

There are many countries that take care of their people; many pay high taxes but in the u.s. we pay lower taxes but huge payments for these services.
I think happiness is relative; whats happy for one person isn't happy for another.
Marriage is a great thing. But many people choose poorly, and then they divorce and become bitter about marriage. In reality they should be bitter on their choices in the person they picked.
You are right; happy and whole people make the best partners. Broken people needing a relationship aren't. good post.

Some people don't choose poorly, it's just people change over time and want different things in life.

spiderbulgaria: Some people don't choose poorly, it's just people change over time and want different things in life.
I'm inclined to agree. You can look for all the signs and satisfy yourself that your partner to be is perfect for you, but if they wake up 7 years later and decide they want to be a completely different person & their future happiness doesn't include you....no-one can predict how much another person might change over the course of their lifetime.

I really don't understand why people panic about marriage...if you find the person you want to be with at 65 or 16, then so be it...Unfortunately a lot of people will just settle with the partner they have when they are not happy, because they feel society says that you should be married by a certain age!!???...This ultimately leading to a miserable unhealthy relationship.....
Seriously, do not accept anything less than perfection.... if they are your best friend, in your thoughts when you're travelling to work or in the laundrette...or they take your breath away everytime you see them across the room... I think you may on to something...and everythings going to be okay...
When it comes along....it comes along....there's no SET age...
Never just settle....just settle for the best, and it will come to you. Happiness.
Happiness is a good thing...maybe the best of things... and no good thing ever dies.
Just live......

You dont need a ring on your finger to be happy. Though finding someone to share in that happiness is a feat in itself.
