the more you spend, the shorter your marriage is.

[I AM NOT THAT GUY 5,715]

Couples spend $30,000 on average planning their Big Day … but the more you spend, the shorter your marriage is.

• Guys, investing between $2,000 and $4,000 on an engagement ring means you’re 1.3 times more likely to get divorced compared with the more frugal fellows who only allocate between $500 and $2,000.
• For both sexes, spending more than $20,000 on the wedding ups the odds of divorce by 3.5 times compared with couples who keep it between $5,000 and $10,000.
• For the best odds, though, keep the festivities to less than $1,000.

Makes sense. The more materialistic people tend to be, the more phony and pretentious they tend to be. Phony and pretentious usually do not equate to long, loving relationships.
