We went to marriage counseling also. It was great. There were areas that we hadn't discussed before (surprisingly) and it was really interesting to talk about it, and iron out our differences. We also had to take separate little "character" tests or something, and then talk about them. It was great. I would recommend it to everyone; it forced us to talk about children, finances, future goals, etc. I think our church would've married us without the counseling, but regardless, I'm glad we did it

With all my marriages none of us went to pre-marriage counseling. I think the first two marriages we should have though, LOL.

But then again...I'm glad those didn't work out cuz then I wouldn't have the love of my life now.

I am all for counseling as long as you don't get physco info from your counsler. I've gone to some (after marriage) and WOW, THEY were the one's who needed help.

I recall one of my ex's going into counseling cuz well let's just say "he needed Viagra!". The counsler told him to have an affair as it would "jazz things up a bit".

Now c'mon people, and we paid this moron for this type of info? Good Lord, help that man!!

You girls have been with the wrong guys. It's been a long time but I remember.
Just something to shock my daughters.
