I personally, think if a COUPLE is serious about getting married during the dating stage, they should attend premarital counseling. They will find out a lot more information about each other through premarital counseling sections that ofttimes does not come out when dating... after the counseling sections, you may or may not care to be anymore than friends... OR maybe not even friends handshakecomfort talk to hand

Premarital counseling BEFORE they get serious in a relationship or engaged OR AFTER they have gotten engaged headed to the altar, OR NOT AT ALL?. Will such counseling help the relationship before getting married or in marraige?

So have an outsider decide whether you're suitable to date any further?

Nah, sod that for a laugh. You can do it if it will make you happy, but I can't see it catching on.

How about the two people finding out for themselves by getting to know one another in the usual manner, or, just not rushing into anything?

You Have to attend a pre-marriage course here if you want to get married in a catholic church.

Luckily, the course focuses on more practical matters than before. Commitment, communication, conflict resolution, etc.

Well, you seemed not to have taken on board with what I said, or you wouldn't have asked if I was still against it, given one word wouldn't have changed my opinion of it.

At least I bothered with a response, even if it is arrogant in your opinion, not that I care what you think.

What's your opinion of the OP, seeing as mine is so arrogantly put? I do notice you're calling me out, yet haven't bothered with your own opinion.

Exactly. People marry because they love one another, and are wanting to spend the rest of their lives together. Nobody can second guess what will happen in 10-20 years time, so why bother involving anyone else?
