Read along with the original article(s) here: https://www.luvze.com/diamonds-arent-forever-expensive-rings-and-weddings-may-lead/ Quotes to ponder: "Navigating the wedding industry can be quite frustrating, in part because of the relentless pressure to spend fantastic amounts of money on anything and everything wedding-related." "People who had spent between $2000-4000 on an engagement ring had significantly higher rates of divorce compared to people who spent between $500 and $2000." "These results suggest that if anything, high levels of wedding-related spending have a negative effect on marriage, not a positive one." Learn more about your ad choices.
