Women's Views on Love and Marriage

Relationships are always difficult. Being close to someone else brings rewards, but it also creates tension. And as I have posted in the past, not everyone belongs in a modern day romance.

Personally, I believe that our expectations about love and romance are out of touch with reality. While being in love is great, love does not solve the problems people face.

And despite the average $30,000 wedding, many couples end up unhappy.

Unfortunately, a new survey of married woman being released this month by AOL and Woman's Day also brings home that point.

Here are some of the highlights of that survey:

• 36% of the women surveyed said that they would not marry their husbands if they had to do it all over again.
• An additional 20% said they were not sure if they would marry their husband again.
• 76% of the women reported keeping secrets from their husbands.
• 49% suspect their husbands of cheating at one time or another.
  
• 76% fantasize about having sex with other men.
• 39% admit to constantly flirting with other men.
