[quote=scaredycat]I think ther eneeds to be more education of the youth of America not to marry or have children or even get seriously involved with other people. perhaps this could be covered in high school. Maybe they could cover your g-father’s advice too.[/quote]
Scaredycat,
Many people wouldn’t trade their marriages for anything in the world.
The best advice one could give young kids is to choose your partner wisely, paying special attention to their integrity, honesty, communication skills, and whether or not they are selfish or considerate.
Probably the biggest misconception out there is that you can lead two completely different lives and still have a **happy** marriage. Marriage is different from being single, and people need to be prepared to make the sacrifices necessary to make it work…because the end result will be something that is much greater and far better than what can be achieved as an individual, IMHO.
