I'm Catholic, as is Lady Cashmoney ( Yet, we're both Republicans). We share pretty much the same views on politics, religion, economics and life itself. Basically she's the female version of me, but she's not a slut. I wouldnt be in a relationship with someone who didnt share the same view as I in those four areas. Eventually one day I'm going to want to marry. By the time I'm ready I think I'll know what I'm getting myself in to and not actually need the counseling...but I'd still go through it.
I agree, you should know what you're getting yourself into before you get married, but so many people don't.
Some people get married because they think that's what they are supposed to do. You know get married, have 2.4 kids, the white picket fence, the dog, etc, etc.
There has to be a reason the divorce rate is so high.
I think it should be mandatory (some sort of couselling, not necessarily religious). I should be hard to get married and easier to get divorced, that way people will enter into this union for the right reasons, instead of it just something for them to do.
