Marriage is based upon agreement by two or more people. Now consider the following kind of marriages in the above poll, which in your opinion is the MOST likely to fail? If you think it is totally random then state why you think so. Keep in mind that this is based upon cultural / traditional aspects and NOT on religion.
I had to choose "a Christian married to a Muslim". In my experience, this is almost always a Christian woman married to a Muslim man. While the Muslim man is very exotic and interesting at first, after marriage, he continues in his cultural upbringing, which is very disrespectful of women. Eventually the marriage ends when he gets abusive in various ways.
What is very sad about these marriages is that the children are considered Muslim no matter what, so if the man takes the children to a Muslim country (as happens very often), the Christian woman has absolutely no recourse. She loses the children.
However, I think that homosexual marriage is by far the most likely to fail. But lesbian marriage appears to be, by far, the least likely to fail. Since they weren't separate items in the poll, I couldn't vote for gay marriage.
I believe 'One woman to many men' would not last because it seems to go against natural selection. In a twist of fate based on Nighthawk's comment, remember that LDS guy in the Marines that married the Muslim girl? That did not last either even though everyone made it out to be a princess meets prince story. I have seen a Muslim marry a Hindu (yes, odd combination) and it lasted pretty long.
I would say one woman to many men. I say this because I think it isn't likely the man's ego could handle sharing "his" woman with another man. I don't think you can have more than one rooster in a hen house.
To be married with allot of women seems a nightmare to me, (it seems challenge enough to keep one of them happy)... but probably less likely to fail as one woman married to allot of men.. all the other marriages have happened and been at least somewhat successful on occasion, but I have never heard of a woman who married more than one man... at the same time, I mean
What about a Muslim married to a Jew? This just seems to be a marriage doomed to fail because of the clashes between the two religions. I suppose if the individuals did not pay attention to the mass consensus, then it would not matter, but I just don't see this marriage lasting very long.
This was a hard choice since divorce is so prevalent amongs people in todays society. I chose a rich woman to a poor man as most likely to fail. While religion plays a large role in marriage, I have seen many people who believe differently succeed, including my wife and I. She is a deist and I'm agnostic. But one thing that I have seen allot is a woman that is well off or rich and the man of humble up bringings getting divorces. The woman never feels like she is being provided for by her husband, or at least in the cases I have seen. Either way, divorce is sad and all these situations listed have unhappy endings.
