Answer 8

Happily married is...

when no matter how much he annoys me, I'd rather be annoyed and with him..than to be without him.

knowing that there are going to be good days, and bad ones, and realizing you can't have one without the other.

realizing that spending your life with someone doesn't mean they (or you) are perfect, or are ever going to be perfect.  It means that this is the person who, despite their imperfections (and yours), is the person you want to share your life with.

waking up in the night and seeing him drooling on the pillow and making a noise like a Harley (snoring),  and being glad he's there.
