The actor made the revelation in an interview with the Daily Mirror.
Douglas, 68, married Ms Luker in 1977 until she reportedly filed for divorce in 1995, but he admitted he felt he needed to keep their relationship going for as long as possible.
He is quoted as saying: "I know I'm going to get into trouble here. I have nothing against her and in fact I'm very fond of my first wife. But we should have ended that marriage eight or ten years earlier.
"It took me too long to realise that if you go to a marriage counsellor to resolve problems, it's in his interest to keep the marriage going.
"Because if I end the marriage he's got no business. I think Diandra would probably say the same thing. That's the only clear regret that I have."
Douglas is now married to Welsh-born actress Catherine Zeta-Jones. They married in November 2000 and have two children, 12-year-old Dylan and 10-year-old Carys, together.
Discussing his marriage with the 43-year-old, Douglas added: "Love is an extraordinary feeling that comes from the bottom of your soul, but has to be nurtured, you know.
"The thing I've learned about getting older is you can't take love for granted. You protect it, nurture it and it grows and after one's initial, physical emotional aspects, it becomes deeper."
Douglas also has a son with his ex-wife Diandra.
