happily married

Contentedly joined together

Happily married describes a couple whose marriage is successful and fulfilling—partners who remain content with each other and their union.

The phrase often appears in contrast to marriages that persist unhappily or end in divorce: They've been happily married for thirty years.

It can also function as a polite deflection of romantic interest: Thanks, but I'm happily married.
