A recent survey conducted by Woman’s Day Magazine and AOL, questioned 35,000 women on the state of their marriages, and produced some revealing results. Here’s a sampling of the figures: · 52% of women say they have no/a dull sex life

· 72% have considered leaving their husbands

· 57% regret marrying their husband

· 79% want sex more often. (Only 19% call their sex life satisfying.)

· 27% think their marriages are not successful

· 52% say their husband is not their soul mate

· 41% said they don’t have date night

Hmm…paints a grim picture of marriage.  But most people in committed. long-term relationships have their ups and downs. What I find most interesting is that only 27 percent said their marriages are not successful. So, despite the lack of sex, date night, and soul-matedness, most women think their marriages are basically okay.  What gives?
