A quick search seems to say most studies agree this type of thing does lower the divorce rate by a significant amount. Out of nothing more than curiosity... One thing I couldn't find was how many people decide to not get married because of that program and decide that marriage wasn't for them? (I assume that has some name I just can't figure out what to search for) I'm just curious if it's common for people to say "Glad we did this, we shouldn't get married"
- jawns 3y agoI would be surprised if there were a significant number of couples who go through this preparation program and then say, "Welp, guess that won't work. Nice to have known you!" But there are probably an appreciable number of couples who come to realize that they are not quite as prepared as they would like to be and decide to either extend the engagement process or to focus more attention to working these things out before their vows.
- ska 3y agoThere is a potential causation vs. correlation issue here, too. It may be no so much that people bail out due to the process, but that people who go into the process at all are more committed to the idea of marriage being permanent...
