The survey, which was undertaken by economics professors, Andrew Francis-Tan and Hugo M Mialon, found that spending more than $20,000 on a wedding and between $2,000 to $4,000 on an engagement ring increases the risk of that marriage ending in an early divorce.

Scientists quizzed 3,151 heterosexual people in America and asked them questions about their education level, household income, children, marital status and how expensive their wedding and engagement rings were. They also asked respondents how long their marriage lasted if it ended in divorce, the study says, and how important their partner's appearance and wealth were to them.

"Specifically, in the sample of men, spending between $2,000 and $4,000 on an engagement ring is associated with a 1.3 times greater hazard of divorce as compared to spending between $500 and $2,000," the study authors wrote.

An expensive wedding comes with risks, too. A man whose wedding costs under $1,000 has half the risk of getting divorced as a man whose wedding was priced between $5,000 to $10,000, the study found. And a woman with a wedding cost of over $20,000 experiences a 1.6 times likelier chance of a divorce.

The reason you are marrying a person can also determine the chance of an early split, according to the research. “Reporting that one’s partner’s looks were important in the decision to marry is significantly associated with shorter marriage duration,” research Hugo Mialon told The Independent.

That doesn't mean you should skip out on celebrating the marriage at all, however. The study found that a honeymoon — regardless of cost — and a large audience for a wedding actually increases the chance of having a longer marriage.

Sharing a child with your partner and "regularly" going to religious services also lowers your chance of divorce, the study says.

Even if you avoid all the potential pitfalls, don't think that married life will be a piece of cake. Research published in the journal Social Networks and the Life Course found that marriage can actually increase the happiness of partners — but it takes 20 years of being together to get there.

Before that, the researchers wrote, "happiness declined gradually during the first 20 years of marriage."

Ken had a business challenge.
He asked Rachel his fiance for some financial assistance.
Rachel loaned him N10.9m.
He paid back N7.3m.

During an argument Rachel said in anger, that the loan was from her rich ex, who has been trying to rekindle their romance.

What should Ken do?

Awon Oloriburuku

Sowore called for a protest, dem no commot.
Many protests meant to be stage against the governments oppressing the nation through wrong policies, graft, Nepotism, cronyism and othe illegal activities.

Protesting against Bobrisky, who is attention seeking and thrives on this kinda attention to survive and remain relevant.

I wonder why the police didn’t deal with these set of fools like they did to the shites.
