The more expensive the wedding, the higher the chances of divorce

The more money spent on a marriage, the higher the chances of divorce. These are the conclusions of a study recently published on CNN.

There were two economics professors from Emory University, Hugo M. Mialon and Andrew M. Francis, those who investigated and conducted a detailed study of the data of 3,000 married couples.

In particular, the study found that marriages that had cost more than 20,000 dollars (the data is for American society) but that we find these figures in our society also had a rate approximately 1.6 times higher than weddings, the cost of which had been at between 5,000 and $10,000.

This is interesting information considering that couples in the United States spend an average of $2,858 on their big day (registered in 2013) according to 13 thousand couples' data.

To spend so much on a vital event has become the norm and has become a real profit industry.

The advertising of this industry has given the impression that spending large amounts for the wedding is a sign of commitment or is essential for a marriage to succeed. By and large, our conclusions provide little evidence for this relationship! Even according to data, it goes into direct distribution. ” said researcher for CNN, writes Living.

The amount of money spent on the engagement ring also plays a role in the wedding life expectancy.

Spending 2,000 to 4,000 dollars on an engagement ring means you have 1.3 times as much chance of getting divorced as people spending $500 to 2,000 on a ring.

It is important to note that even the authors of the study are not sure why there is a connection between the amount of money spent on marriage and the prospect of divorce, but it is appreciated as a study.
