It is well said that marriages are made in heaven, but celebrated on earth. 

It means your soulmate is pre decided. 

But with time this pure bond is made a propaganda and money is being invested in fantasising the weddings

Whether that mutual respect between two people is there or not , lot of money is being invested in just showing off the event 

When it comes to dating, everybody has their dealbreakers, like people who chew too loud or folks who are rude to waitstaff. But what about income? Is that something you factor in when deciding whether or not someone can be a long-term romantic partner—or maybe even the fabled “one?”. 

“Figuring out who you want to spend your life with is a multi-faceted decision,” said marriage and family therapist Jill Whitney. “Love, caring, and attraction definitely matter, but they’re not enough. You also need common values and life goals—and compatibility with money.”

Everyone has a relationship with money.

Unless you’re a hermit who lives in the woods (which you probably aren’t because then how would you be reading this), money plays a big role in your life. You have a relationship with it, the same way that you have a relationship with your partner—and the same holds true for them.Unless you’re a hermit who lives in the woods (which you probably aren’t because then how would be reading this), money plays a big role in your life.

Divorce are quite common as the real bond is not felt but something being faked . Thus this results in breaking off relationships.

The weddings based on money and not on love, end in disaster, not because of the infidelity of one of the partners, but due to the lack of communication between the two life partners as their money was the reason for their getting married. 

                                       Conclusions

All these things thus result in breaking off relationships. To avoid such a thing, we should invest less in weddings, rather than invest more in improving our relationships with our life partners. This will lead to a successful relationship and not a one based on your trust and respect for your life partner, which a lavish wedding, not based on love and just money will never do wonders for all of us
