Men should make their own happiness a priority and get married.

 Men should make their own happiness a priority and get married.

Men, in particular, are getting more unhappy in the U.S. According to an article from the Boston Globe, smoking and being overweight aren't the biggest problems for middle-aged men. It's being alone.

I first heard this story in the year 2019.

Cancer killed his daughter. Five months after that, the same illness killed his wife.

He spent most of his time alone and sad in his basement for months. He said that at that point, he no longer cared. He felt like giving up.

But because he was religious, he could not bring himself to kill himself.

One thing was certain, though: he wasn't happy. And he realized that he had to do something.

When he remembered what his late wife had said to him before she died, he finally found the strength to get up.

She told Dave to be happy and enjoy his life.

She wanted him to start over, to find someone to love and make beautiful memories with.

She wanted Dave to meet someone else, move on, and fall in love again.

So he did it.

Dave took a plane to Ukraine, where he met a lovely woman. They got married, he moved to Ukraine, and he and Nina are now living a happy life (his new wife).

This is a picture of the happy family:

What Dave's story shows us is:

We have the ability to change the way our lives go.

We make the choice, and that choice is to be happy.

It's up to us to make that decision and be in charge of our own happiness.

So, to all the men and women who are struggling and complaining about how unhappy, miserable, or lonely they are, take action and you will see results.

I hope this article inspires you to find YOUR OWN happiness.
