Does the Law of Diminishing Returns apply to Happiness?

It's all like a beautiful dream! And then you wake up and you are hit by ordinary reality. Yes, life has a way of intruding into our hope for happiness. For the ordinariness of living always impinges on our dreams. But this is what really counts in your pursuit: happiness is a state of "fulfillment." That is when our hopes reach reality. And few of us are so lucky to reach that state. The Law of Diminishing Returns does not apply to relationships. For the more you grow together, the more you create complementary lifestyles and the more you aspire to the same values, the greater the likelihood of reaching a happy state. It takes work, a realistic assessment of what is possible and, most of all, patience. But let me assure you, it's worth the effort.
