While many couples deteriorate over time, some are unfortunately predisposed to separating. Certain signs, visible from the day of the wedding, can actually announce a divorce in the year to come.
How do you know that a relationship is made to last? Unfortunately, no one has the answer to this question. Quite simply because there is no magic recipe in love, but also because it is impossible to know how people will change over time (and evolve in their relationship). On the other hand, several signs would be warning of a future separation. Some even lead to divorce within the first year of marriage. Among them, 17 are visible on the day of the ceremony.
Indeed, this is what the media revealed BuzzFeed after asking the question to Reddit users:: “What in a marriage indicates that the couple will divorce within a year?”. Several users responded, sharing the “red flags” they’ve seen at weddings that they say indicate the relationship probably won’t last.
