It depends on how you define happiness. If you mean honeymoon period, then for sure — they are happy. But for later stages — is happiness related rather to inner balance or should we expect that unbalance brings happiness?

What is happening today in society and in social media is a good sample of disbalance — people are polarized to extremes. Why do we think it is different with partnership relations? I would avoid using the word happiness as it might mean too many things. In my mind the question is — is my relationship fulfilling or not. My life experience and observations tell me that balance is the most important ingredient here.

I’m a bit wondering how you got the impression that I said that disbalance is wrong? I was trying to say that disbalance has consequences which people usually perceive as unpleasant. In my mind striving for more balance improves our life experience.
