Pre-Marital Counseling Begins With Personal Counseling
A House bill seeks to put school counselors in front of troubled students at troubled schools. This isn’t a bad idea.
When 50% of all marriages end in divorce and 30% of high school students never graduate with a degree, you figure there must be some correlation. It’s obviously not a direct one-to-one correlation, but I’m pretty sure there is a connection. High school students gain their ideas about marriage and relationships from their peers – while they are in junior high and high school. They take those ideas with them into college and marriage.
By focusing on making the person whole while in adolescents, we might be able to curb the divorce rate by giving teenagers a higher sense of self worth and a better understanding of the dynamics of relationships – when they need that understanding the most.
Less marriage counseling might be necessary if more couples sought pre-marriage counseling. And pre-marriage counseling might be less necessary if young people had better access to personal counselors and a better understanding of themselves.
