Want to understand the landscape of marriage and love in China in 2015? Baihe.com, a Chinese dating site, together with a social research center at Peking University, conducted a survey about behavior during and attitudes toward marriage. Here are some of the results.

It is becoming increasingly normal to marry and bear children at a later age

It has aroused widespread discussion that China cancels the holiday for people who marry and bear children at a later age. The survey indicates that it is common to marry and bear children at a later age in first tier cities. According to the survey, people tend to enter their first marriages between the ages of 22 and 28. Within this range, 63.29 percent of male interviewees were found to marry late (after 25), and 83.07 percent of female interviews were found to marry late (after 23).

The survey also shows that people’s ages at first marriage do not differ much between areas. The majority of people enter their first marriages around 27. Thus, the average marriage age is after 26.

Doctors do not know how to love?

Doctors are not just people who wear thick glasses and bustle about laboratories. Based on different levels of education, the survey showed that doctors' average times for relationships were more than any other education level.

Women are more pressed than men after marriage

Data from the survey show that women are more unsatisfied with their marriages than men. This is especially true for those who have children.

If you had a chance to go back, would you still want to get married?

According to the survey, if given a second chance, 14 percent of couples would choose not to have married or to have married different partners. Another 6.9 percent said they would choose to stay single.

The survey indicates that couples who had been married for one to three years made up the biggest proportion of those who said they would have preferred to stay single; couples who had been married for three to five years made up the biggest proportion of those who said they would have married other people. Those who had children were equally likely to choose either situation.

The five-year itch

The "five-year itch" has replaced the "seven-year itch" as the tipping point at which couples start to take each other for granted, according to the new survey.
