Are Love , Happiness and Marriage ...Identical Triplets?

thanks for comments

I don't think so.
Love doesn't always translate to Marriage ( thank God for that ) and doesn't necessarily have anything to do with Happiness.
In fact, I contend that Happiness has very little to do with Love or Marriage. Happiness is a temporary state of mind, a bio-chemical reaction to an outside stimuli that is powerless to create the same over a long period of time. No one is 'forever happy'.
I aim for Contentment. A much more permanent state of consciousness that needs no outside stimuli to manifest but a deep understanding of what the heart yearns for on a daily basis: Inner Peace.

When love comes it requires marriage, that is coupling,, as it is impossibility to live without your beloved one. As to happiness, I share Mr Rooster's speculations.

Only in a romanticized, metaphorical sort of way.

I am myself hoping to have the two without the third, someday. I like the commitment aspect of marriage, but I have become averse to the Government intrusion aspect of it.

Rooster, man that was awsome, deep insight. Respect.

Thanks, buddy You're awesome and funny as well!

I agree with Frank Sinatra's song


Love and marriage, love and marriage
Go together like a horse and carriage
This I tell you brother
You can't have one without the other

Love and marriage, love and marriage
It's an institute you can't disparage
Ask the local gentry
And they will say it's elementary

Try, try, try to separate them
It's an illusion
Try, try, try, and you will only come
To this conclusion

Love and marriage, love and marriage
Go together like a horse and carriage
Dad was told by mother
You can't have one, you can't have none
You can't have one without the other

Try, try, try to separate them
It's an illusion
Try, try, try, and you will only come
To this conclusion

Love and marriage, love and marriage
Go together like a horse and carriage
Dad was told by mother
You can't have one (you can't have none)
You can't have one without the other
