There are a lot of things I should keep my mouth shut on, and (holy) matrimony should be one of them. There is currently an effort in Colorado to require couples who want to get married attend marriage education classes.
I will say this: I believe that people with a history of divorce should be strongly suggest to go to marriage counseling/marriage classes. Divorce itself isn't bad, but when you're blending families, it's a losing proposition. I vow I will never have more than two kids, and if (GOD FORBID) I ever find myself remarrying, I will not have more children with another spouse. I wouldn't mind having just one child even. It's one of my strange beliefs: an only child is less resource intensive and kids are more expensive than ever. And all the only children that I've met are happy and well-adjusted.
All I know is that I want to avoid the mistakes my mom and stepdad have made over the years. They've made a boatload of them, and I come from the same mold, so it makes perfect sense how I have my own bit of anxiety. I do know this: when I get married, I'm going to get pre-marriage counseling.
