One-third oppose. - Would you remarry your partner?
People were asked this question on Reddit about if they'd remarry their current partner.
The study found that a majority of couples were unhappy and shared their thoughts on what to do in this situation.
Here's what we discovered: 33% of married couples surveyed stated they wouldn't remarry their spouse - a significant increase from last year when only 20% said the same.
The top reasons for not remarrying were due to negative changes in their partner, weight gain, and job loss. Many also mentioned a lack of affection in their marriage.
"He started to act like a different person"
One respondent said, "I've been with my partner for 18 years (43F, 44M). If I knew he needed me to be his mother, lost his job, and gained 50 kilos, I would've left."
Another person shared, "Honestly, I think a lot of couples are still together because they have a comfortable life. I'm sad to admit I wouldn't have married my husband."
Many of these discontented couples also realized they said yes to each other too early: "We've both been married since we were 18," admits one man. "It's tough to develop as an individual when you've never been an adult on your own."
"We clash on politics, religion, and vaccines"
One of the factors that causes discord in marriages is fundamental differences in opinions about politics and worldviews. "We vote for opposite candidates, attend different churches, and can't agree on things like vaccinations," says one interviewee. "We argue about elections, pandemics, and the economy."
What can couples do when they're struggling? According to science journalist Steve Fink, who analyzed the research, simply tolerating your partner's behavior isn't the solution. Instead, he suggests talking to your spouse about your feelings. "If this isn't viable in a constructive manner, consider seeking help from a couples therapist," he advises. "In this safe environment, you'll be able to rekindle the attraction that initially brought you together."
