Mojo. The life force. The essence.

SMV,

As others have pointed out, not all counselors are pro-marriage, although I understand more are becoming, so that might be a tough nut to crack. Many are "neutral" and don't want to be seen as taking sides, too; in many instances, that could polarize a couple from the beginning. And, as you point out, it may already be too late at that point...

How about we all send out an anonymous "care package" with the 2 or 3 books we most wish we'd read to a handful of young couples? May not prevent any of them from that "first walk", but if it prevents just one couple from taking that Walk, something good can come from our pain and one less child might ever have to bear the even greater pain they would otherwise endure...
