Synopsis Happiness is a good object for academic discussion but very difficult or rather impossible to achieve in desired measure.  Happiness for a couple means happiness individually and jointly of the partners.  We have therefore to study the partners individually and in relation to each other.  For individual happiness we have to study the person as he or she is and his/her mental make up because, after all, happiness is only an attitude of mind.  For mutual happiness for the partner we have to judge them from various angles.  This is particularly so when each of them has expectations from the other.  There should be an element of adjustment, tolerance and appreciation of each other’s habits, likes and dislikes and social and individual priorities.  There are some typical things like extra marital sex, large sized ego and mistrust etc.  In such case there is need for gentle persuasion and affectionate arguments.
