SALT LAKE CITY — "To be faithful" and "for better or for worse" are the most difficult aspects of marriage, couples said in a poll.
A poll from 60 Minutes and Vanity Fair of 1,100 adults showed that men and women struggle with different parts of traditional wedding vows. Of men, 27 percent reported struggling the most with "to be faithful." 32 percent of women, however, said "for better or for worse" was the most difficult vow to keep.
"In sickness and in health" was a nearly-equal challenge for both genders, as 17 percent of men and 16 percent of women said it was the hardest vow to keep.
Men, at 18 percent, were more likely to be challenged by "for richer, for poorer" while 12 percent of women said it was hardest.

When asked which of four predetermined aspects of living with someone "drives you the most crazy", 36 percent of people agreed with "TV choices." The next most popular answer was "doing household chores." Only 7 and 13 percent said "sharing a bed" and "sharing a bathroom," respectively.
The survey also showed that married people are more likely to be romantics. When asked "do you believe in love at first sight," 58 percent of currently married people said yes. Those not in a relationship were the most skeptical, with 48 percent saying no.
In a question addressed to married people about in-laws, 71 percent of people said they "get along well" with their spouse's family.
