Haven’t all of us at times wished we could go back in time and do things over, and do them better or differently? Haven’t we all wished we could eliminate he mistakes and improve our lives? If you had it all to do over again would you marry the same person?
According to Time magazine that question was asked in a survey that extended over 15 countries. The survey found that 68 percent of people surveyed said if they could do it all again, they would marry the same person. Would you be one of those like that 68 percent?
It’s a question raised by the song Memories from the movie, The Way We Were. So if you had it all to do again, would you marry the same person? I know I would, in a heartbeat. The truth is I simply couldn’t imagine being married to anyone else. Yet we were the couple all those years ago, many people never expected would stay together. But we are and still happy together.
Recently I came across two interesting statistics. The one about marrying the same person was the first one. The second was one I herd on the radio as Mick and I were traveling in the car one day. It said that men who cheat on their wives have a lower IQ. This is according to the London School of Economics. According to their findings the smarter and more evolved a man is, the less likely he is to cheat on his spouse. I couldn’t help but wonder if the same applies to wives that cheat on their husbands? Do they also have a lower IQ?
But then other statistics point to other reasons as Mary Ann discovered. One of the main ones being men feeling unappreciated by the wives and I’m sure the reverse also applies.
Join me tomorrow when we look at changes we can make to our marriages that will benefit them.
