COMMENTARY     

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.
