Confession from a married man:
Yes, I'm married and NOT happy. BUT, I will tell you if and when she signs the divorce papers (hopefully she will soon) and I meet that "special" someone, I would get married again. So, don't give up hope, you’re beautiful and have a wonderful personality too, so you will find that "one" special person for you. As you’re getting older, you are getting wiser about what you’re looking for. I will say from my experience, the friendship is most important as once you have a great friend, all the rest is natural. In my case, my spouse is like a sister and nothing more.
My thoughts:
I always thought that I will marry someone I love madly. But in modern days love seems elusive as people have become fickle. If marrying a great friend will be ideal for the long run I will have to seriously go through the consideration on my list.
