WHO’S HAPPIER IN THE MARRIAGE MEN OR WOMEN?

More married people than you would think, given the 50% divorce rate, are happy in their marriage. 88% of married people say they are happy or reasonably happy in their marriages. What’s more, 71% of couples said they’ve stayed married because of deep love while 74% cited companionship.

Of the two groups, men were more satisfied in their relationship, with 70% saying that they would never think of leaving their wives. Women, while satisfied in their marriages weren’t so optimistic. Over 50% thought about leaving their husbands, despite the fact that they were still happy.

It would be interesting to have a discussion about why this might be true. I suspect it might be because women do so much more in the marriage than men do and resent them for it. Or could it be the guys were just lying to the surveyor because they didn’t want their wives to find out how they really feel? Consider opening up this question to your audience and see if you can come to some sort of reason why there is such a big difference between how men and women feel about the whole “to death do us part” thing.
