Publisher: Los Angeles Times, 2005ISSN: 1522-3213;.Subject(s): Church and social problems | Divorce | Marriage -- Religious aspects | Marriage counseling | Psychological testsDDC classification: 050 Summary: "Increasingly, couples are seeking out 'pre-premarital' or 'pre-engagement' counseling--the opportunity to sit down with trained advisors to examine, dispassionately, whether their love is a passing fancy. This step, though still rare, is on the rise across the country. In the South, the most religious and divorce-prone part of the country, many churches have begun to recommend it." (LOS ANGELES TIMES) This article examines how "pre-premarital counseling responds to a yearning for a more reliable path to marriage. Using tools from social science, it aims to prepare the partners for conflict, prevent unions based on blind impulse--and, ultimately, reduce a divorce rate as high for religious couples as for other Americans."| Item type | Current location | Call number | Status | Date due |
