Pretty safe to say you and the wife are in it for the long haul.<br /><br />Regarding that conversation from the preCana conference, I'd be willing to bet there have been a heck of a lot more "marriages" like that than not. The Church should learn to say "no" to such definite candidates for the divorce courts. Unfortunately it doesn't, so we have the present situation.Subvethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13523683273450353313noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36003957.post-5948311365020874002011-05-29T09:48:32.220-05:002011-05-29T09:48:32.220-05:00Been 33 years now for me.

Going though the required pre-cana to get hitched in the Church (after the civil cermoony) was an eyeopener.<br /><br />Not for us per se, but watching all those other couples who didn't have a clue. <br /><br />"How many kids do you want?<br /><br />She- 3<br />He- 2<br />She- 3<br />He- 2<br />She- 3!<br />He- Well, I'll just get cut after the first two.<br />She- I hope you'll love the third one as much as if it were your own.<br /><br />True conversation during the pre-cana. Ours went-<br /><br />She- A bunch<br />Me- Whatever happens, happens.<br /><br />Ended up 5.<br /><br />Now that I'm an "old guy" I sometimes have young people I work with come up and ask me, "I don't know if I should get married to him (her). What do you think?"<br />I always answer, "If you have to ask the question, the answer is no."<br /><br />And I get to watch young marriages break up because mostly because one party want a girl(boy)friend who isn't his(her) wife(husband). You got one, you can't have the other one be different. Agree with you 100% on that.Gospacehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04570281939230746682noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36003957.post-13515269038232115952011-05-26T14:58:32.036-05:002011-05-26T14:58:32.036-05:00Thanks for sharing.

It's a problem with pride, the thinking being "I can resist the Devil, I'm stronger & smarter."

Too often I've heard either a man or woman relate how they'd come to spend a fair amount of time with someone of the opposite sex who was "just a friend". The next thing anyone knew, they were climbing into bed together and afterward plaintively wondering "how did that happen" as their marriage fell apart.Subvethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13523683273450353313noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36003957.post-18908622709308566552011-05-25T10:30:51.471-05:002011-05-25T10:30:51.471-05:00Well said, Sub.

In his entire life he was never alone with a women other than his wife. Not once. More Catholics should be taught about the "near occasion of sin."Adriennehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01562944653624224107noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36003957.post-67003562880080646432011-05-25T09:05:42.345-05:002011-05-25T09:05:42.345-05:00Mary Ellen/Nunly, amen to that!Mary Ellen/Nunly, amen to that!Subvethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13523683273450353313noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36003957.post-83112631966368079772011-05-25T08:55:36.907-05:002011-05-25T08:55:36.907-05:00I've just told my kids, regarding marriage, ju...I've just told my kids, regarding marriage, just don't think it will be one big date.
