Did you know that there is a statistic that says that the more expensive the engagement ring is the shorter the marriage will last?

This is specifically when the woman REQUIRES an expensive engagement ring. So Guys, if your girl says she has a requirement on how much the ring costs, its a red flag.

Wedding expenses also predict divorce, The stats showed that the couples who spent the least on the weddings had the greatest chance of staying together. So if she demands a wedding thats like a fairy tale princess, its a red flag.

Not so helpful woman, if you're not interested in a kind respectful discourse, and only want to insult, your comments go bye bye as rule violations. If you can't be respectful don't comment on my questions.

The real fact is that people sometimes overspend for a wedding, a new house, furniture, and maybe even new cars for their nest. I think financial bad planning and being able to keep up with the Jones is their downfall. Money woes break up more marriages than you can shake a stick at.

Don't worry, I'll sell some of my bubble gum collection from my bed post.

You're absolutely right.

I mean i feel like if you demand it then you're not actually there for the marriage more for the wedding... me and my husband went ring shopping together and mine ended up being $7000 which I wasn't planing on getting one that cost that much but I feel in love with it so he got it fit me but I didn't demand it

My thoughts exactly.

Expensive rings and high wedding expenses are a reflection of a materialistic bride who is getting married for the wrong reasons, and women like that more often lead to failed marriages.
