Follow on Google News | Woman Sets Out to Find 1,000,000 'Happy Wives' in 180 DaysWoman in U.S. begins journey to find 1,000,000 wives happy in their marriage and in love with their husbands. In one week, wives from Sweden, Nigeria, Phillipines, Dubai, New Zealand, Zambia, Finland and Canada join club and say "I am a Happy Wife!"
By: Happy Wives Club It seems unfathomable to believe a goal of finding 1 million happily married women can be accomplished in a day and age when nearly all the focus on marriage seems to be negative. Those struggling in marriage, battling their husband and miserable in love is what takes center stage. But Fawn is convinced there is another group out there who just hasn't received the same amount of attention. "When my husband and I were first married all we heard about was how difficult marriage was and how we should enjoy our 'honeymoon phase' because it would soon end. Well, seven years into this relationship our love and marriage keeps getting better and stronger with every passing moment.” She goes on to recount how she began wondering about other wives with a similar experience in their marriage. “I began thinking about my own group of friends and realized although I had 4 or 5 girlfriends with major challenges in their marriage, I had 7 or 8 with the exact opposite experience. Most were still madly in love with their husband and given a choice to remarry the same man, they’d do it in a heartbeat. So that made me wonder, 'Is it possible the number of women happy in their marriage actually outnumbers those who are unhappy and feel unfulfilled? Fawn surmises the media fascination with drama perpetuates the notion that marriage and conflict must go hand-in-hand. "People like watching drama on television and reading about it in the magazines and newspapers so that is all the media focuses on -- even when it comes to areas like marriage and that should not be." she notes. "The more we say marriage is difficult and love is hard, the more jaded we become. This becomes our new kind of normal.” In writing about this on her site www.HappyWivesClub.com she says, “…I want so desperately for other women to feel the love I have in my marriage. To experience the joy of being married to your closest friend, confidant and lover. My heart’s desire is that women all over the world will rekindle in their hearts the love story which began when we were little girls. Before the world – and past romantic interests – had a chance to ruin it.” In the first week of the site’s existence – launched February 4th in honor of her friend Jocelyn’s wedding anniversary – close to 1,000 women logged on and women head-over-heals in love with their husbands joined one-by-one from all over the globe. By day 8, married women from the Phillipines, India, Canada, Sweden, Scotland, Finland, New Zealand, Zambia, Nigeria, Dubai and the US become members of the Happy Wives Club. “The interesting thing about this club,” says Fawn “is it is completely a grass roots, word-of-mouth effort. I sent the link to a few friends and my younger sister, Christy Joy. They sent it to their friends and chatted about it on Facebook and we’re now rapidly on our way to having 1 million members in l80 days or less. What has surprised me most about the Club is more than 47% of the membership has been married for quite some time, between 10 and 50 years. That's alot of 'Happy' anniversaries. How amazing is that?” she asks. Amazing it is. # # # http://www.HappyWivesClub.com: Happy Wives Club, founded on February 4, 2010 is a rapidly growing group of married women exclaiming "I am a Happy Wife!" End
