I would like to believe that I am thorough enough to cover all or most of the bases regarding what is important in a relationship without a 3rd parties involvement.

if you get married in some kind of church setting don't you usually have to go through some pre maritial classes with the rev who is to do the ceremony?
y not?
iono
i think u have an option to opt out
also, non-religious places offer the counseling also
I would, and would definitely recommend it.
Most people would like to think that they got it all sewed up though and it's unnecessary.
It's mad stuff you take for granted and don't formally discuss with your S/O or fiancee before you get married. Stuff that inevitably comes up. And it always does.
Mostly stuff you think is mad trivial, like, time devoted to family like holidays, career moves and how they'd affect where the couple chooses to settle down, how many kids, religious dispositions etc.
trust me, most of this shit seems pretty obvious but stats (supported by empirical data) prove it.
I have spoken.

I'm afraid to say this, but...
I agree with Sean on this one.![]()

btw i think the word "counseling" may give it a negative view and some peoples eyes and scare them off.

Please take your empirical data and place in your rectum...forcefully !!

Just like a pre-nup you're saying "i don't have confidence in my ability to pick the right person". And it reeks of "i don't trust"

do you see it as potentially beneficial or a waste of time?
have/would you do it?
There are billboards here and all around cities in Texas that are encouraging pre-marital counseling or marriage help. It seems like theres a really big push to save the institution of marriage here.
For me, I wouldn't get married without pre-martial classes...or a pre-nup. But that's just me.
hmmm you say pre-marital classes OR a pre-nup...are you saying one is an exchange for the other?
I see them as very different but that is the 2nd time in this thread they have been mentioned in the same sentence and I wonder why.
i could be wrongFor those that said no. . .why?
think about it its not good at all 

to me, that is the epitome of americans needing to be coddled, they can't do ANYTHING without involving some type of agency or 3rd partythink about it its not good at all
also, no offense Jo, but in general, counselors and therapists are a big bunch of fuck and lonely americans need them because they have no real friends or family
sorry but i tell it like i see it![]()
