According to statistics, 62% of marriages in Russia end in divorce in the first 5-9 years. The key reasons are financial insolvency and psychological incompatibility of the couple. At the same time, it is precisely about such consequences that the popular omen warns, which says that at feasts a girl should not clink glasses with her fiance or husband. 
The sound of moving glasses threatens that the spouses will lose harmony and mutual understanding in the relationship
Why can't a husband and wife clink glasses?
The belief has existed for over two hundred years. And not only in Russia – women in Great Britain and Austria also prefer to raise their glass, looking at their partner.
- The sound of sliding glasses (chok) threatens that the spouses will lose harmony and mutual understanding in the relationship. After all, the word crazy came precisely from the onomatopoeia of the blow of glasses – to hit, move, move with the mind.
- When the containers touch, the contents spill. This is interpreted as a loss of common good and wealth (good flows away).
It is believed that the more often the spouses gather feasts, the less comfort and warmth remains in the house. Discharged energy and noise disturb the aura of family life. Holidays are recommended to be celebrated outside the home, preferably outdoors or in a cafe. If spouses clink glasses in neutral territory, the consequences, according to legends, can be avoided.
One of the most relevant signs associated with feasts says: in order to become rich and happy, the last girl must clink glasses with a man. And the most suitable option is a married and financially successful 'object'. So the lady will receive from the glass of the one with whom she clinks the last, a drop of his happiness and prosperity.
It is better not to break the tradition all evening, and repeat this action in every toast. Legend has it that an unmarried lady will soon find her other half, and the accomplished spouse will receive a financial inflow into the family budget.
It is believed that folk signs are echoes of ancient superstitions, when people did not know about the existence of psychology and were poorly versed in sociology. But everyone makes the choice himself. If a woman is confident in the correctness of beliefs, it is not worth the risk. Moreover, scientists have long found out that a person gets in the end what he believes in.
Each missed 'choke' with a spouse softens the woman on a subconscious level, her confidence in control of the situation grows in her. And if there is no good reason for discord in the family, keeping traditions will be cute fun for a couple. And the more common secrets and common points in the family, the stronger and happier it is.
