  I am in agreement with Doktor comment above. I as well know bf/gf relationships that have their regrets. It.s not about marriage it about relationships. cacybrook.

  I been married for 22 years and been through up and down whatever it is couple should accept and compliment each other,and rekindle the love,coz divorce is not the best solution and it is not fair for the children stop being so selfish and it takes patience,compromise,respect,trust and work it out for the best for the marriage constitution that the reason of being alive unless if there is some logic reason that might be consider.

  I believe couples get married to young. Your personality is still changing and so is your life prospective when you are in your late teens and early 20's.

  By the time I got married at 26 I had completed my education, had good credit, lost a parent, and changed my point of view drasticaly. I grew up ALOT between 18-26 and so do many others.

  People need to be less focused into rushing into marriage and more apt to find themselves.

  This survey is a little disturbing to me. I know it's all a matter of perspective, but my take is that it seems the women surveyed here may have gotten married for the wrong reasons. Sure, people do change over the years, but why does that have to mean that if they don't change the way YOU want them to that you should leave or even consider it? It takes two to tango, and I'm sure it's not always the man who does the changing. I suppose this should be a lesson to women AND men everywhere--marriage is hard work and requires DAILY maintenance to thrive. When times get tough or boring or less than perfect, take an active role in doing what you can to improve the situation, and don't place blame. If you want it to work, and work at it, in most cases it will. That's my opinion.

  I dont care if it is a man or a woman, a person should not get married until they figure out who they are. Yes two people can grow together, you never stop growing but you need to have an idea of where you are going.

  First of all, why does this sound like a knock on men? Last time I checked a marriage takes two people. I'm a man and I've thought about giving up and calling it quits too, but I don't. And this whole soul mate debate is weak. Humans have the capacity to love anyone. Period! Love is a choice that can blossom into something beautiful and everlasting. Sure there are things like compatibility, security, and attraction that play a part in it, but remember it's YOU'RE decision. Too many times I hear both men and women pointing fingers and not owning up to their own insecurities or faults. I understand some things happen like abuse and that is not tolerated. So for everyone out there who can’t wait to cast that first stone, do me a favor and look yourself in the mirror first.

  Marriages are great because weddings are a lot of fun, but other than that I don't really see the point.

  Everyone regrets a commitment at one time or another. But that doesn't mean they want out. It just means that they are thinking. There is nothing wrong with being honest either. I completely disagree with the commenter who said women should work more on their marriage instead of taking polls. Just because you may have had one moment of regret, doesn't mean your marriage is doomed or in serious trouble. The less we lie to ourselves about marriage the better our marriages will be.

  Of course this applies to long-term relationships as well as marriage. Doctor Eevol, I'm surprised that you're such a news naysayer, yet you don't write anything of your own. You should start your own blog to report the endlessly fascinating info you have.

  I'm glad this study was published b/c maybe it will give people a better idea that marriage is a challenge & that it's not the fairy tale from childhood.
