Mandatory marriage counseling

Also April, you're skating really closely to violating the community guidelines. Please don't very subtly put down another poster.

Very strange how personally you are taking my comments.

Methinks they are hitting a bit too close to home?

April you just got flagged and your post removed for exactly what I was warning you about.

@Jacks have you? That's the question. Trust me darling all that is taken care of.

Ooooohhbbh I'm scared lol

April that climb down from your high horse may be painful.

Also, please don't call me "darling"

Directed at me, I should take it personally. Thanks

I highly recommend you guys go.... we have learned soooo much not only about each other but what real marriage is about... love the classes.

April, you may be banned from the site. It's just a friendly warning.

Hi still here.

Funny thing is I never said anything even remotely personal towards you. I literally only spoke of myself and my own perspective towards my marriage. I'm confused how that offends you?

Odd that someone who has "no issue with communication" would be so quick to negativity and blatant in attempting to put down someone on the internet who you literally know nothing about.

But you know what they say about people in glass houses...

Yep FH and I are Catholic and a marriage prep/counseling course is required but doesn't take very long

Most that I know require it too. We will be doing it, and are looking forward to it. It can save a lot of stress, and struggle down the road

Also, April you can't tell someone not to comment or ask why they still are. In our community, that's rude.

@crystal H thanks for your advice

Well since you asked, yes, we've done counselling and a prenup. We found both very helpful.

Its a must for Catholics and its very helpful. I suggest that you give it a try , who knows you might learn something new.

We did. It was....ok. We had already talked to each other about all the things it went over, but it did help us solidify that we were doing the right thing by marrying each other. :]

I get it, counseling isn't our thing either. We've lived together for years with combined finances and a combined life so the only change we'd be seeing after marriage is getting a nice piece of paper to put on the wall. You just went a different way with officiants

Man I wish I had a perfect relationship like you do, April! Hats off to you. Also- it's comments like yours that keep the stigma of counseling going strong in our society. They are the reason my husband won't go. Maybe consider others' feelings before you go off on how you don't need it because you can "communicate" perfectly. That's not all it's about.

My aunt was trying to get us to do it. Said she wouldn't perform it without it. So i found someone else. Hurt her heart too.
