COMMENTARY

April (Casper, WY) 24th October 2007	I think people go into marriages with the idea that, "if it doesn't work, we can get a divorce." It's an easy out and too many people are too scared to be alone that they settle with whomever they have to avoid their fear. I don't remember who said it, but it's an interesting quote, "keep your eyes wide open before marriage, half shut after." In other words, don't be afraid to look at the real person when you are looking, don't close your eyes to the things that are serious problems, then once you've married the person of your choice, don't be so nit-picky about things that don't matter. It teares a person apart and only keeps you dissatisfied with the person you've married. Weigh what's important by it's effect; does it harm you, your family or that person? If so, it's important. If not, you need to let it go and learn to compromise. Honor that person above yourself, and if you can't then you are not ready for marriage, or any relationship for that matter!

Shirley (USA) 26th January 2007	There should be a requirement of individuals to have a maximum number of session of talks with others (counselors) that have been married and divorced before getting married; to have first hand comments of what it is like to be married, what to expect; children; what its like to go through a divorce. These sessions should be first hand experience only.
