For A Lifetime - Wedding Planning Resources

15/04/2025

For most people, a wedding is literally one of the most beautiful experiences you can experience in your life time. Divorce isn't considered when you're on your honeymoon. What do couples need to know to keep their marriage together and happy?
Here are the top statistical reasons people got divorced in 2025 (likely the same in 1905), so work on these before and during your marriage.

Why People are Divorcing in the United States

Lack of commitment is the most common reason given by divorcing couples according to a recent national survey. Here are the reasons given and their percentages:

Lack of commitment 73%
Argue too much 56%
Infidelity 55%
Married too young 46%
Unrealistic expectations 45%
Lack of equality in the relationship 44%
Lack of preparation for marriage 41%
Domestic Violence or Abuse 25%
(Respondents often cited more that one reason, therefore the percentages add up to much more than 100 percent)

We found every divorce statistic, study and fact you need to know - over 115 in all. Find out what impacts divorce (spoiler: almost everything).

Hello Love Birds!!! What I want to share with you today is this: YOUR wedding day is YOURS. Include and solicit help from family, friends and professionals at your discretion.

When we get help out of a sense of obligation it can sometimes lead to unsolicited opinions that don't align with what you have in mind for your big day. IJS.

Please believe that the day you have been dreaming of will be as special as you visualize it to be and everyone who loves you and wants to share in your dream will support you in any way they can.
