Many couples spend a great deal of time planning their wedding, but little time planning their marriage.

About This Quote

Planning a wedding is exciting because you get to pick out your dress, the music that will play, and the food you will serve. Unfortunately, many couples do not actually spend much time planning their marriage. You may go on a few dates and get engaged, but the couple never thinks about how to make their marriage last. Are they going to grow old together? Are they going to be happy? Will they ever get divorced? It’s too easy to get married and not think about the future because these things are so far away from the present.
