Pre-Maritial Counseling

I disagree. Alot of people would not have made the mistake or gettin married or would have had an easier start if they had some type of counseling. Even if its not with a therapist, they could talk with their parents or some friends or someone that could give insight. Ur hate for americans has nothin to do with this. People get counseling in other places of the world too. . .



And btw. . .take ya ass back to ur island u lentil eating muddascunt. . . .

:lol::lol::lol:
parents and married friends is a whole different thing from a therapist!

Nothin wrong with a therapist. I never been to one but I dont see the problem in it. And everybody has problems and if u had to be perfect to be a therapist there wouldnt be any.

Bi...I never said anything about going to anyplace formal to get this counseling. Someone mentioned it being offered in non religious places. There are books on it, some ppl just do the inventory (test) and other things. I just wanted to know how ppl felt about the idea of it.

also, what do you think pre-marital counseling consists of?

they take the role that family and friends are supposed to take thus further alienating people and also, before I let a person give me advice(tell me what to do) I want to see the conditon of THEIR LIFE! :hmm:

I can understand where u are coming from. But some people dont have family and friends to talk to about that stuff so they need therapist.

Look, for thousands of years people had happy, successful LONG term marriages before any of this stuff was even invented!

There have always been some marriages that were happy and some that werent. And just becuz people are together for a long time doesnt mean they are happy. Sometimes talkin to a stranger is cool becuz they are lookin at things for what they are and arent concerned with personal feelings about you or the situation.

they don't even know you or your partner they just give you a bunch of formatted pre-programmed bullshit
 
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 party :smh: think about it its not good at all :smh:

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 :hmm:

you have already said you dont trust any man so how do you expect to have a successful relationship/marriage?
 
thats irrelevant to what i saying about counselors/therapists :hmm:

no it isn't you must have something built up from past experiences that has caused you to put up that wall. So maybe you need to seek some form of therapy or counseling. :confused:

You americans really stuck on that bullshit for real :smh: :hmm:
There is no wall anyway :hmm:
 
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.

Both are a requirement to me.

I think there is some real confusion on what goes on in pre-marital classes. It is not to get in your business, it is not to tell you how to live your life or run your marriage. Instead the classes encourage discussions and force the couple to look outside of the "oh we're so happy this will last forever and ever" rose colored glasses and really see if they are compatible when real life issues come up.

No offense taken, Bi. I don't feel as if EVERY prospective married couple or EVERY individual person needs or will need counseling/therapy in their lifetime...

Also, you have brought out some reasons as to which I provide counseling/therapy to children and NOT adults:

1. Adults' patterns of thinking are far harder to acknowledge and change in behavior.

2. Children, often times, feel silenced and don't know WHO to talk to for chance of fear, alienation and isolation, resentment from loved ones (especially parents and siblings) and shame. If I can provide that outlet for a child, and make them feel safe, I have done my job...EVEN if I haven't solved that child's problem.

3. Children have a difficult time advocating for themselves. I see myself as an advocate for a child.

And, in some ways, the reasons I have listed why I want to provide services to children can be the same for adults. Many adults feel shame and fear about talking about certain thoughts and concerns with family members and friends. They may wish to keep those things separate and get an objective look at a situation.

Also, why not go to someone who is an expert on an issue for guidance? I feel where you are coming from about working with a counselor/therapist with fucked up issues in SAID professional field. That's like talking to a financial advisor who's got fucked up credit :lol:

A little harsh, but I think couselors really are beneficial for the true nut jobs in society, but they screw up people who may be a little different, but otherwise normal...

My biggest issue with therapists...


I can't believe I agree with just about all of what bigirl wrote...except for the american hating part...:D

This is why you tend to be so full of septic effluent. :rolleyes:

[Robeson]Your arguments always stem from a personal deep seated disdain of "Americana" which distracts from the central thesis and always ends up in a tangential diversion to more fecal rubbish.[/Robeson]

:smh:

Like marital issues and 3-party interventions in indigenous (heck even egalitarian)societies are a foreign concept?

*spits* :puke: ptt-uah!

Look, for thousands of years people had happy, successful LONG term marriages before any of this stuff was even invented!

People? Which "people"?:confused:

For thousands of years?:confused: How many thousand? :confused:

And "this stuff was invented" exactly, when?:confused:

And your source of this data is ...? :confused:

WTF alien brand of obtuse mediocre mentality would illicit such a dumb statement? :confused:

Bi-girlism :smh:

they take the role that family and friends are supposed to take thus further alienating people and also, before I let a person give me advice(tell me what to do) I want to see the conditon of THEIR LIFE! :hmm:

Family and friends huh?

The objective, unprejudiced, dispassionate and unbiased family members and friends we all have? :rolleyes:

I'm assuming the "condition of your life" predisposes you offer up your virtuoso advice on this mater?
Hmm? :rolleyes:

Stupid argument.

That someones life condition isn't aligned with the advice or knowledge they provide obviously doesn't necessarily devalue it.

Myopic genius neuroscience professors, Charles Barkley, you, etc.



parents and married friends is a whole different thing from a therapist!why you put so much trust in a total stranger? bet their
life more in shambles than yours is :smh:you are missing the whole point I guess you too indoctrinated to see what I saying :smh:

Maybe you're the one so blinded and prejudiced by your personal issues with "America" :rolleyes:... that you fail to see through the bullshit smog that prevents you from acknowledging that even your dearly beloved "homegrown" "pristine" "indigenous" cultural heritage isn't the panacea of human civilization.

:smh:

Your blatant ignorance of what constitutes premarital counseling is clearly demonstrated in the above "Bluntonian" statement.

Both are a requirement to me.

Thank you.
 
Fuck your mother in the ass with a strap-on rake and sip on some halogenated bio-toxic waste while your leprous father watches.

no you fuck your mutant sisters tree hole covered in bark with your prosthetic fake dick as you weren't born with one and take a bath in muriatic acid
 
You'll never find peace of mind and happiness in any relationship with that type of thinking and trust issuse.

you're doomed to loneliness.

You are wrong I have a man and we are just fine and its not like I argue about it or even say a word at all just inside I know thats all
