Before It Starts .
Every couple marrying today is at risk.
More than 200,000 new marriages each year end prior to the couples' second anniversary. After they toss the bouquets and return the tuxedos, couples often assume they're headed for marital bliss. Half were already having doubts their marriages would last. The truth is, most engaged couples prepare more for their wedding than they do for their marriage. More than one million copies of bridal magazines are sold each month, focusing mainly on wedding ceremonies, honeymoons, and home furnishings-but not on marriage itself.
