The fact is that people put more planning into the wedding than what they plan for the marriage.
and instead of planning the silly stuff that only lasts a few hours, they should be planning when they should open joint accounts or hang onto separate ones, when they should buy a house and where, how long they plan to work and what they plan to do and when they plan to retire, how many offspring to have and when or if none at all....
they should be planning on how to handle crisis's.
how they should handle living together and making it work, how to grow closer together and not apart.
they should plan how they can deal with if the other gets deathly ill or dies suddenly or if they live to the ripe old age of 97 and how they will manage then.
your right francisco, people don't plan anything of importance these days.
they can't even plan what dinners they can share during a week until last minute.
