Would You Marry the Same Person Again?

What will be your response on this question, “Would you marry the same person again?” As I asked the question to a few married friends of mine and I really became surprised to see that most of them become speechless after hearing this. Only a few were there who had the confident answer, while others started thinking about it.

Just now I was going through the March edition of the Readers Digest issue and found that they had an international survey on the same topic. The survey was conducted among the 15 countries of the world like China, Germany, Australia, India, Canada, USA, France etc. The best stuff is that 68% of the entire participant confirmed that they will marry the same person again. Mostly women have the view that they will marry the same person again.

The outcome of the survey was that China was the top for the spousal satisfaction, while India, along with Canada, France, Philippines, Spain and Malaysia has less than 45% people who feel happy to marry the same person. The surprising outcome of the survey is that Italy was the topper in saying goodbye to their spouses, if they are given the chance. Especially women in Italy are keener to say goodbye to their husbands. Around 42% of the women in Italy can consider saying goodbye to their husband if they have another chance.

On the other hand if you consider about men, then they are happier to change their wife than the women with their husbands. Malaysia was the top among all the countries in which 48% men says that they can change their partner if they had another chance. Consider the scenario in India, 33% of the women and 39% of the men would not choose the same person to marry again. Is not it surprising after considering the Indian cultures and traditions?

Well the brighter part is that more than 60% (around 62%) of Indians will marry the same person again, which is not that bad. Altogether China has the highest percentage of people who would be happy to get the same person again, while Malaysia is the worst. China has the 83%, along with Philippines with 76% and Germany as 73% were the top three countries to live happy together.

Would you marry the same person? It is really a bit of awkward question, but if anyone asks the same to us, then we should also be prepared about answering it. As far as my stance is considered, I will definitely say YES. Please do let me know your reply too in the form of comment.
