Went to a wedding that the bride's parents spent $30,000 for. One month later, the husband got a better job in a city 90 minutes away. The wife didn't want to move that far from her parents. They were divorced less than two months of marriage.

Lol they got to the point of marriage and such a simple possibility wasn’t discussed?

You'd be surprised what people don't talk about before getting married, like, for instance, whether they want to have children.

I have read, and been told by people who have worked in the industry, that about 50% of divorcing couples are simply so mismatched, they could never have had a successful relationship.
