“Would you marry the same person again?” This was the question that Readers Digest posed to readers in an international poll conducted in 15 countries. The survey concluded that 68 percent of all respondents would say “I do” again to their spouse. Surprisingly, it was only slightly lower in the United States at 63 percent. The same survey over at Answer.com has a much more depressing result, revealing that only 29% of respondents would pick the same spouse if they had to do it over again. I am not sure what to make of the marked disparity in the two polls, but I can tell you this – I would marry Jen again in a heartbeat, and here are 5 reasons why:

1. I still really enjoy looking at her.
2. She has to be the funniest person I know.
3. No one works harder and is more diligent, thoughtful and caring.
4. She is my best friend – as such she would be compelled to tell me how awful my new wife was for me. I mean that is what best friends do, right?
5. I have invested so much time in causing her a lifetime of heartache and aggravation I cannot imagine throwing all of that hard work away and starting over with someone else.

But just to be on the safe side – I am getting a subscription to the Reader’s Digest ASAP. It seems their readers have a much more happy and successful married life than everyone else in the world.
