Re: divorce & families

Well... sure. Hormones don't think. When FX and I were married, the preacher said we had to have counseling first. I told him I only had a three day pass and I'd be back to learn all about Jesus later. So we skipped that part and I never went back. Of course, the marriage failed--21 years later.

TX just passed a law to double the fee for a marriage license (to 60 bucks) which will be waived if the couple does the premarital counseling thing. Not a terrible idea that. I think a lot of people (here at least) seem to 
rush into these things w/out thinking the whole thing through.

impoverished are single women raising children. Arkansas had good results with reducing poverty by "saving marriages" and I think TN is trying to do 
the same.  Families have a hard time making it without two salaries.
According to the study, economics turned out to be one of the biggest
problems for many couples and with counseling many marriages were "saved".

In Tennessee couples have to go to "divorce counseling" before it's

final.

I believe this was forced by the churches.  I think it is probably a

good
idea for children of divorcing parents to have some counseling, but I 
don't
think it is the place of the state to do it.  Just my 2 cents.

Yep- in California you have to wait until 6 months +1 day after you

file
and the other party has been serve for it to be finalize by a judge. 
Just

ridiculous!!  Like who needs another 6 months of "cooling off"

period
to

consider if it is the right thing to do???  Like the last 3 years

trying

to decide weren't enough?
Sorry- it just annoys that heck out of me that government thinks it 
has

a

right to interfere in my personal life.
