'Cold Feet'? You're Headed Toward Divorce, Study Says

New research explains that pre-marital jitters are not something to ignore.

I can't say it enough: "Cold feet" are not a harmless nuisance to shake off as you barrel down the aisle toward your tulle-filled fantasy wedding.

I'm Planning My Dream Wedding In Three Months!

After waiting for quite a while, my fiance and I have finally set a wedding date.

This percentage is not only a drastic decline from the 72% of married adults in 1960, but it has also dropped a significant 5% between 2009 and 2010.
