So, you think it's ok for the government to interfere with people's marriages and lives? That's not what I serve for. I don't want the government telling me I need to go to marriage counseling, whether I need it or not. I'm an adult, my would-be husband (we're not engaged, but for sake of discussion) is an adult - we can make the decision to go to marriage counseling on our own.
Why should the government make people go to marriage counseling? So our divorce rates aren't so high? Since when should people be forced to do something so that we can lower statistics?
I understand the necessity for certain laws. It's unfortunate that we need them, but I understand and respect them being there. But I don't want the government in my uterus. I don't want the government in my bedroom. I don't want the government telling me what to do in my marriage. That's not anyone's business - other than whom we CHOOSE to make it. We'll go to counseling because we want to, not because we're forced to.
Ok, I'll explore the realm of mandatory marriage counseling in the military...
If a servicemember's marital problems are so bad that it's beginning to affect their performance at work, then THAT servicemember and their spouse should be sent to marriage counseling.
Some people have marital problems, but you would never know because they can separate work from private life.
