They wouldn't read it. I point out the "warning signs" to people all the time, but 90% of them stick their head in the sand, JUST AS I DID.
You ain't ready until you're ready. And then you are.
He is right.
My MIL saw danger signs well before anything came to a head for us. I told her that I wished that she would have said something at the time, but I also know that it probably wouldn't have done any good.
Which is why I phrased my recommendations for premarital counseling the way I did.
Heck, we should be required to go for annual marital check-ups...
I know the love chemicals are all flying around, but it would be nice if we could get newlyweds to understand that there will be times when you don't feel very loving towards your spouse, and those are the times when you have to try the hardest.
There's a reason I had this in my signature (until the DB gods removed it -- must be a rule against outside links in sigs?):
