They WERE married, but I don't know if they had a happy marriage or not.
As far as we know, they did.
Yes they did they loved each other and had children. Happy family but very sad when Hamnet died :(
They did not go on record to say one way or another. Certainly William, aged 18 with no job prospects and from an inferior family to the Hathaways, cannot have been considered much of a catch.
Factors which some people cite to support their idea that Shakespeare and Anne did not have a happy marriage are that they lived apart for many years after the birth of the twins, and had no further children, and also Shakespeare's will which only mentions his wife in the gift of his "second-best bed".
There are various theories, but it's believed that William Shakespeare's marriage to Anne Hathaway was unhappy due to their age difference, his prolonged absences in London, and possibly his infidelity. Additionally, cultural norms and societal expectations of the time may have contributed to their marital difficulties.
There is little known of William Shakespeare's marriage, or even Shakespeare himself. What we do know is that after Shakespeare retired from theatrical life in London, he moved back in with his wife in Stratford as if nothing had happened, an event which argues that they were happily married even if often apart.
A good and happy marriage depends on you. If you are contented and you truly love your husband/wife, you will have a happy marriage.
Despite the fact that Shakespeare and his wife Anne lived in separate establishments for most of their married life, there is no reason to believe that their marriage was not happy. It was Shakespeare's job that took him away from Stratford and his family, who he cared about enough to take all his savings and buy them the second-largest house in Stratford in 1597, only three years after becoming a partner in The Lord Chamberlain's Men. Clearly a lot of his earnings must have been put towards saving for that house.
Shakespeare's comedies have happy endings
12 rules for a happy marriage
Shakespeare knew that people liked both happy endings and sad ones. That's why he wrote plays with both. The ones with happy endings were comedies and the ones with sad ones were tragedies.
You can change your boring marriage into happy one. It can be done by spending more time with your loved one.
