Talking about the possibility of marriage tracked with higher satisfaction and commitment for engaged couples, while frequent pre-engagement talk about the proposal, the ring, and the wedding tracked with lower satisfaction among married ones. They are careful about causation, but suggest the difference may be focusing on the relationship itself rather than on the events and objects around it. Read along with the original article(s) here: https://www.luvze.com/is-there-such-a-thing-as-planning-too-far-ahead/ Quotes to ponder: "As a couple grows closer and their relationship becomes more serious, it's entirely natural to discuss future plans." "According to our results, discussing plans to marry may be an important step in moving a relationship forward and likely reflects something happy couples are naturally inclined to do." "However, planning far ahead with frequent discussions about the specifics of getting engaged and having a wedding may not help the relationship or your chances of experiencing a more satisfying proposal, ring, or wedding."
