A survey by ACNielsen, which got responses from over 25,000 consumers who were polled online in 46 countries last December revealed their views on love, romance and marriage. "Seventy percent of people surveyed say that marriage is for life (with American consumers topping the list at 78 percent) and three out of five (60 percent) saying that marriage is one of their lifetime goals," said Patrick Dodd, President, ACNielsen, Europe.
