| Chances | Yes, but of course that assumes that the person/people who lived 'happily ever after' had plenty of adventures and ups and downs first. Because 'happily ever after' is the ending after some huge drama of a story. But eventually, yeah. : ) |
| Kirk | More or less, yeah, absolutely. It's just not easy to get to that. |
| B.K. | To get there you have to survive every blast that life has to offer and then yep in between and ever after there is always a happily ever after. They just had a couple on tv that had been married for 82 years. Both over 100. Just amazing, but still holding hands and talking affectionately of the other. Can you imagine what they had survived together. Yes I believe it happens even today. bk |
| aparajita | i dunno, this seems almost like a loaded question to me. to imply 'happily ever after' makes one think that all is a bed of roses (or at least this 'one'), that there are never any challenges or obstacles placed in the path of relationship and love. we all know that this is simply not true at all. along with the good come the bad. it is a testament to the strength of not only the relationship but also the committment of the people in that relationship whether or not it survives. maybe i am reading too much into the question... ?? although my kneejerk response answer is a 'no'... i really really hope the answer will be a 'yes' someday. |
| Jolee | Yes, because love is one of the few enduring ideals in the world. If the right 2 people are lucky enough to find each other, and both are smart enough to realize it and to realize that life is not easy and that bad things happen but they pass...then those two people can live happily ever after. Today's age has only made it more difficult to recognize that "right" person. But it can happen. |
| Jon | Nah, I don't think so. "Happily ever after" means what it means, that you and your significant other are continually happy, and that's just impossible. There are hardships all throughout life, no matter what age or level of maturity you have reached. "Happy after the (insert)", however, is possible. |
| ~Harem~ | ` Happily Ever After is possible at any time and any place, but the odds against it - make it a rare experience. We live in a world of the "quick fix" and so people rarely wait for anything. Haste makes waste, and many of us are living proof of wasted live, doing the quick fix thing and settling for much less than what would truly make us happy. Our world is filled with people pounding square pegs into round holes, and that is why we have a lot of crying the blues everywhere. And even beyond relationships, we have so much stress in today's age - that keeps us from truly being happy ever after. With cancer, aids, terrorism, road rage, traffic accidents, poverty, hunger, injustice, kidnapping, raping and murder, greed, and so on - who can truly be happy ??? It's hard to bake a romance cake, when you're missing some of the ingredients, or the oven is broke. ~Harem~ ` |
| ginalans | NO |
| Irongirl | Yes, as long as you know yourself well, have a good solid foundation to stand on, come together as two wholes, rather than two halves to make a whole, it's very much possible. It's not easy to find for sure, but once you work on yourself the good people start to come your way and you will find that perfect match (which can be any number of perfect matches out there in the world). |
| Star of David | No, no, no, no, no......! |
| lola0210 | yes..80% |
| wistful | If you mean can you have a fairy tale existence where you never know a single moment's sadness, regret or worry, and you are always perfectly aligned and in tune with another person: No. If you mean can you truly find your soulmate with whom you can grow and change and persevere through all of life's adversities and your own petty foibles: yes. My God, Yes. |
| chris | Roughly 50% of the time I'd say it's around 90% possible. |
