Meaning, the less expensive the wedding, the more likely the marriage is to last.

Economics professors Andrew Francis-Tan and Hugo M Mialon surveyed 3,000 married people.

Fortunately, not all spending when it comes to tying the knot is negative.

Planning a dream wedding can be a costly endeavour but the good news is the less expensive the wedding, the more likely the marriage is to last.

The professors also found that one other characteristic impacts divorce risk - how important one another's looks were in the decision to marry.

"Reporting that one's partner's looks were important in the decision to marry is significantly associated with shorter marriage duration," Professor Mialon told The Independent.

Instead of splurging on the wedding, it seems it is beneficial to save the money for a relaxing post-wedding vacation instead. »

"If we stop testing right now, we'd have very few cases, if any," the president said Monday during an event for seniors at the White House.

Mr Pence, still the head of the White House's coronavirus task force claimed "steady progress" in putting coronavirus "farther and farther in the past.". »
