Now a pair of economists have found evidence that the opposite is true. An Emory University survey of heterosexual adults found that men who spent more than $2,000 on a ring were more likely to end up divorced than grooms who spent less. And couples who had big-money nuptials (over $20,000) were three and a half times as likely to report shorter marriages. Burdensome wedding debt may be one source of marriage stress, says Emory’s Hugo Mialon. Also, the types of couples who have thrifty nuptials may just be better matched and thus less divorce prone, he says. —— end ——
