I hear you, but I think we're talking about two different things. My point isn't that counseling is worthless in and of itself. What I'm saying is that if a young relationship is so screwed up even before it really gets off the ground, you might just be with the wrong person. Going back to my original point, many young people are just too inexperienced or insecure to move on in the face of those red flags. Instead, they press on with potentially unresolvable problems. Sometimes the "other fish in the sea" doctrine is the best move.

Brett, we all know what goes on in the back seat of Prowlers...
is wise beyond his years.
I didn't want to press the issue, but since this thread has gone that way...
When you're 21, you should be out having fun and having as many interesting experiences as you can. Couples counseling is not one of those experiences. Young people of both sexes should be out banging anything that moves. Yes girls, I know you have your precious reputations to cultivate, but who are you kidding? That's what youthful indiscretion is all about. Once you have all that stuff out of your system, that is the time when you're in the proper mental place to contemplate something more serious, like a LTR or marriage.
I have to agree here. If you can't get it out of your system when you’re young, when are you going to sow your wild oats? After you’re married? Ditch this guy, he sound like bad news...
Wait. . . I may be slow here, but I thought the problem was the men's units in the women. . .
That's brilliant!
Rep points for you.
Steve,
Pre-marriage counseling is great...I went through it at my church. But that type of counseling is to teach the couple how to transition from a "boyfriend/girlfriend" situation to a real partnership for life. The counseling that she is talking about is the kind of stuff that attempts to fix that which is broken. If you have to fix a relationship prior to marriage, perhaps you have made a mistake. Better to end it now and grow up a bit then to wait for there to be kids, finances and other legalities. Cate, I see where you are coming from but not all relationships were destined for marriage. If you and your boyfriend need serious, honest to God counseling before taking the plunge then you ought to be thinking that this is a bad idea.
As for what happens in the back of the Prowler, I heard that's where the blenders and limes are kept. Bad gouge?

I love Brett ... if he wasn't such a fool/tool/NFO .... I would adopt him.
And then we'd be one big happy family.
Yeah, we're still working on getting the porn to display in the back seat. It's a cabling issue, but we have a crack team of 50 pound heads working the problem.

My church required my fiance and I to go to group pre-marital counseling a few months ago. We went to the first session in great moods...open to the experience. I was the a$$hole who left with his fiance in tears. We fought like hell for about two days after that. And they want a hundred bucks for that? Yeah right...thanks for nothin'.
I'm not a fan of counseling. We had to do it before the minister would marry us, and it was worthless. Granted, it could have been him, but I think we know ourselves better than any counselor does.
Every marriage will take work, but on the whole, things should go smoothly. If you're having to bust your hump to make it work, either you found the wrong person, or you probably couldn't get along with anyone.
From what I've seen, the people who would benefit generally figure their problems out on their own, while the people who really need help are often too stubborn to take what good advice is given to them.

Why bother? We got it all figured out in the Rhino already

Well, unless you're going to fly a really tight parade during HVAA-P so I can see too, we're going to keep at it.

Gotta do something in the tanker track
Did I just post in the spouses corner!?!?!?!
Hey, I don't care one way or another. It just seems you're contradicting yourself all in one sentence. Personally, I think you have talent. It usually takes me at least three sentences to contradict myself.
