Would you marry someone else if given a chance to ?
What would you do if you were given a chance to marry again ?
Well, according to a survey, more than 8 in 10 of the respondents polled said they would still choose their present spouse if they were given a chance to start all over again.
Over 600 married individuals between the ages of 25 and 44 were polled for the survey conducted by Marriage Central in April.
The survey also showed that more than 8 in 10 of those polled said it's better to be married than to be single.
Almost all expressed satisfaction with their marriage and almost the same number believed that marriage is a life-long commitment which should not be dissolved.
But the couples polled don't mind a little helping hand in building this lifelong commitment.
About 6 in 10 of those surveyed said they would like to see more public marriage enrichment activities that would them strengthen their marriage.
Marriage Central's Chairperson Anita Fam, says that strengthening a marriage is crucial especially in the first nine years
According to divorce statistics over half of marriages failed under 9 years.
To give couple that extra boost, Marriage Central has tied up with the National Library Board to set up information resource points in three libraries here.
The first, located at Jurong Regional Library, will open tomorrow.
Couples will be able to find resources such as books and brochures that would help them in their marriage preparation.
Staff from the Marriage Central will also be stationed at these resource points to answer any queries, or even refer the couples to marriage counsellors.
Marriage Central, which is funded by the Ministry of Community Youth and Sports, aims to setup all three resource points by 2012.--938Live
