Happiness in marriage fulfils his deepest need, that of belonging to another person, of being needed, wanted, loved, and of loving someone else.  In the company of a friend, man feels free to be himself, knowing that he will be understood and accepted for just what he is. In fact, just to be a man omong men, to share the common lot of all men, can bring deep satisfaction to a human being.
