Did you experience cold feet before your wedding? Uhoh...


Pre-wedding jitters or second thoughts are not uncommon – but according to a new UCLA study, it could mean trouble...

Researchers interviewed over 200 newlywed couples just after their big day. The question was “Were you ever uncertain or hesitant about getting married?” The answer was “yes” from one or both partners in two-thirds of those marriages. 

The researchers tracked all of the couples for four years. The results: Women who had pre-wedding doubts were more than twice as likely to get divorced as the women who didn’t. Men with doubts were also more likely to be headed towards Splitzville. 20% of the couples with doubts were divorced within four years, compared to just 6% of the non-doubters.
