5 Interesting Facts About Marriage In America

  1. Trust is paramount - Couples name trust as the most crucial element for a happy marriage over sex, compatibility, friendship, and forgiveness.

  2. Similar average costs - The cost of an average wedding is $20,000, and the cost of an average divorce is $20,000.

  3. Partners from an affair - About 75% of people who marry partners that they had an affair with divorce eventually.

  4. Brief couple time - Due to busy schedules with work, family, and life, the average married couple spends just four minutes alone together on a day.

  5. Gold wedding rings - In the United States, about 17 tons of gold are made into wedding rings annually.
