According to over 25,000 consumers polled online in 46 countries last December:
Seventy percent of people surveyed say that marriage is for life (with American consumers topping the list at 78%) and three out of five (60%) saying that marriage is one of their lifetime goals.
Survey results indicate that the concept of marriage today might be largely dominated by a country’s cultural and religious beliefs – with very opposing views among consumers in the developed West and emerging East.
Another surprising result is that in the USA, more men than women believed that marriage is for life and relevant in today’s society.
Muslim and Catholic strongholds in Asia top global rankings for believing that marriage ‘is for life’, lead by Indonesians (97%), and Filipinos and Malaysians (both 89%).
The news isn't so good in Western Europe:
Over 70% of Portuguese and Italians and 60% of Spaniards say marriage is irrelevant today – and of those who make it to the church altar, only one in three Portuguese and Spaniards believe that marriage is for life! In Italy, only half (48%) believe that marriage today will last a lifetime.
