"Would you marry the same person again?"

"Would you marry the same person again?"

Was it Plato who said ‘to marry or not, you are none the wiser’? I would have adopted this line as a personal mantra but a new poll seems to suggest we are better off married than not and especially if you are a woman. Contrary to the negative vibes marriage is getting, marital bliss is not all that elusive like a rainbow, at least according to this research.

An international poll conducted in 15 countries reveals that 68 percent of respondents, and even more women, would again say "I do" to their spouse.

The survey, which was conducted by Reader's Digest and published in the March issue, reveals that China has the highest level of spousal satisfaction (83 percent.)
Also at the top of the list: The Philippines, Germany and the Netherlands. The United States came in at number 12 for satisfaction levels (63 percent) and Malaysia last (59 percent.)

On average, men were more dissatisfied with their wives than women with their husbands. Malaysia tops the list with 48 percent of men stating they would untie the knot if given the chance. In Italy, however, 42 percent of the women would say "arrivederci" to their husbands.

What does this poll mean to you?

To me it means nothing. It reeks of a plot to encourage people to either get married ASAP or stay married to their current spouses. It is a scheme hatched by pro-family fanatics who want to exploit the allure of ‘comfort in numbers’ to make marriage fashionable again. They want to make us think like ‘ok, so there are guys who are having a ball in marriage… happiness in marriage is real after all… and if all those guys can do it, so can I…Lemme give this marriage a second chance and maybe it will work… figures never lie etc’ they are promoting this kind of hogwash.

Guys beware, this poll wonna enslave us to miserable marriages which are past their sell-by date for life.

I have never believed in marriage and neither am I about to. With the rising cases of divorce, it shows that marriage as an idea is a wrong notion. It is a bad experiment on humanity. Men like the rest of animalia kingdom were never meant to get married. Just to mate and procreate. Hang on to a female, once the mating season is over, you part ways pronto.

Marriage must have been invented by women. These folks wanted a way to shirk their responsibility of raising young ones without guilt. And so they created marriage. Clever bitches!

This thing called marriage is very bad for the economy and should be banned. It creates pests in society. Men hustle their asses off to provide for women in the name of a family, just because society dictates so. Men are losing in this game. Again, look at the cost of divorce. No wonder most women prefer marriage than men. Theirs is the economic angle. More often than not, they are the ones who get the check, the furniture and the family house ostensibly to raise kids.

How long will marriage as a practice last? I am giving it 50 years. After that, you will only be seeing it in museum exhibitions, fifth on the evolution chart!

If you are let off the yoke, will you run for dear life or you will turn the corner, go down on your knees, a rose in hand, tears rolling and say ‘please marry me again baby’.
