The Secret Oddity Of Married Life

Newlyweds envision a life in which they share their dreams with each other. How wrong they are! Judging by an Ipsos-Reid/Reader’s Digest poll fielded in Canada, dreams are just what husbands and wives often fail to share. Nor is this silence confined to dreams of extramarital affairs, although 8 percent of respondents said they’ve had those and refrained from telling their spouses. Seventeen percent said they’ve secretly dreamt of “starting over in a new career”; 14 percent have dreamt of traveling on their own; 6 percent have dreamt of adopting a kid.
