NEW YORK and DULLES, Va., Jan. 2 /PRNewswire/ -- A new poll(*) from
Woman's Day magazine (womansday.com) and AOL.com finds over a third (36%)
of married women would not marry their husbands if they had to do it all
over again, with another 20% saying they weren't sure if they would or not.
The complete poll findings are highlighted in the February issue of Woman's
Day magazine, on newsstands today, and online at

mates, bedtime habits, honesty, jealousy and pop culture.
