"I feel that the majority of relationships and marriages say 60-70 years ago were happy and mutually fulfilling, but now anecdotally it seems that most people are not happy whatsoever." It's possible this is true. But here's a little anecdote. 70 years ago is 1953. The American sitcom "Happy Days", produced in 1973, makes this era look great. I know British writer Alan Moore has said he's seen the TV show Happy Days, and things in Britain in his childhood were nothing like "Happy Days". The country was struggling with how the world had changed post World War 2. I imagine Japan was going through some serious stuff as well.
