It just seems to me that people entering marriages without thinking things through. They enter with unrealistic goals and expectations only to discover that marriage takes a lot of hard work and sacrifice. What do you think?

No!! but that's the fun in it, learning about another person. I also feel everyone needs to go through some classes on it. Mainly because parents aren't teaching their kids how to reason and compromise. I went to a class that told about a couple that got in a fight about if the catchup should be in the pantry or the fridg. I said that's easy....... get two bottles one for the fridg and one for the pantry. The instructor was shocked cause I just blurted it out as a simple matter of fact answer. But those are things you have to learn about your spouse. Marriage is only as hard as you make it. It can be as simple as you make it too. So why not make it simple? Good Luck

There is no premartial course for marriage. Life is all about dealing with unrealistic goals and expectations when faced with reality. Hard work and sacrifice are just two elements that make a marriage work. There are many more. And alot of people seriously contemplate the decision of marriage before jumping the broom. There are no guarantees that you will be happy and have a successful marriage.

Its only a small margin of marriages nowaday survives past 3 years. Most couple they don't discuss all option on the table before they get married. the simple look at it through sexual desire only. When other disasters strikes, they are unable to handle. Some time the age difference play a great role in marriage. Young couples tend to lean toward parents for support. if parent fail. their marriage collapses. Adult at the age or 26-32 tend to understand what they are getting themself into. Most of their marriages collapse as a result of financial difficulties and cheating. there marriage do last 2-5 years and those above 32 may last over 5 years. The answer here is that most couple nowadays are not fully prepared for marriages before they marry.

It's interesting. You need a license to keep cats and dogs, you need to take tests to get a drivers license. You need to do all kinds of homework for all kinds of things in life, but to get married, unless you belong to a church that insists on pre marriage preparation - and they are fewer and fewer, people just go ahead and get married. They think of *the day* and not of *the life together*.
There should be a 200 questions test for all kinds of things that a couple MUST discuss before marriage. Everything from how to deal with money, to toilet seat - up or down to toothpaste - squeeze from the top or bottom, to eat at mother' in law's every Sunday of our lives? and that's barely the tip of the iceberg.
To practise being married with three kids and two tough jobs and a broken down car- REACT? LOL
Marriage is and will always be hard work. Keeping things together is never easy. How you react to things and talk them through as a couple is what makes the difference. Quality time together in some fashion is critical.

Think it's very rare that a couple is completely prepared
for marriage. It's the work and sacrifice that makes it
a fantastic learning experience (well worth the effort)
