Getting married for the first time is a huge step in life of every woman and man.
However 40% – 50% of first marriages ending up in divorce. Obviously no couple is thinking that they may split when they are planning the wedding but statistics show that perhaps they should.
A divorce can result of making you psychologically ill and destroy your self-esteem. It can have a negative impact on your children and lead you into a financial ruin.

Choosing the right partner is the “key” to beat the statistics. There are a few things you must know before you get married in order to have more chances to avoid divorce.

Marriage is not a goal to achieve

The objective is to create a full and complete marriage. The wedding ceremony is just the beginning of a lifelong relationship based on shared values and goals. Nowadays, of course having enough money to have a wedding is an accomplishment on its own. However, the real achievement is keeping daily your vows. Being next to your partner in good times and the bad, to loving them unconditionally until death separate you.

Invest more in the honeymoon rather than the wedding ceremony

The truth is that too much emphasis is given to the ceremony. The whole thing has become a huge industry with an average wedding costing around 30,000 euro. As for planning , that lasts at least a year. Friends and family are trying to make the wedding of your dreams and you want everything to be perfect. Nothing, however, is not perfect. Society’s expectations about what a marriage should be, often become more important than what really is marriage: the celebration of two people in love and their commitment to one another.
