The newlyweds do not hesitate to invest big for D -Day. However, a study warns against the temptation to take out the portfolio too wide. To want to shine too much, some end up separating faster than expected.
A flamboyant wedding does not guarantee a solid couple. Researchers at Emory University in Georgia interviewed more than 3,000 people who crossed the marital adventure and the conclusion surprises: the more we spend, the more you risk separating. The trigger? The financial pressure that sets in, enters into everyday life and ends up weighing on the link. The study does not say that luxury kills love, but it shows that the bill can become an invisible, slowly corrosive burden.
For their investigation, the researchers explored the expenses linked both to jewelry and to the ceremony. They have established a clear comparison between those who bet big and those who remain reasonable. For engagement rings, for example, spending more does not rhyme happily. Result: men who have invested more in this symbolic jewel present a higher divorce rate. People who pay less, they seem to offer their couple a more solid output door, without this permanent tension linked to money.
The study also stresses that discussions around the price of marriage often saw the misunderstanding, the tax priorities are undermined, the projects are presented as ridiculous, in short all this gradually erodes the complicity of the couple. The data on the subject is precise. If, so far, it was glad that a nice budget, flowers, a perfect dress and a memorable party were the keys to a good start, the study shows that a marriage at more than 17,000 euros has 3.5 times more likely to end with a divorce.
In addition, beyond this observation, the study highlights a simple psychological mechanism: by investing too much, we put the bar very high, and the couple believes himself stuck. Marriage becomes the sum of the efforts, sacrifices and compromises that should be held. Therefore, if everyday life does not correspond to this celebration day, the gap between waiting and reality produces a disappointment. Two contasts that invite you to rethink the couple’s emotional and financial investment. Because, if it is also necessary to pay the divorce afterwards, the addition may be particularly salty!
