Men More Committed Than Women ?

The USA Today reports:
Men are more likely than women to prefer marriage over lifelong singlehood and in many ways are as interested in serious family relationships as women, according to a new study that provides the government's first comprehensive glimpse into the male psyche.

The survey, released Wednesday by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, involved more than 12,000 men and women ages 15-44. It asked a variety of questions about sex, living together, marriage, divorce and parenting.

This is the first time men have been included in the agency's study, which has been conducted periodically since 1973. The new report, an analysis of data collected in 2002, focuses on men and offers some comparisons with women.

To the statement “It is better to get married than go through life single,” 66% of men agreed, compared with 51% of women.
It's interesting because who usually files for divorce? Women.
