Premarital Counseling Should Be Made Mandatory. This paper argues for premarital counseling. Premarital counseling should be made mandatory for couples-before they get married. With the divorce rates today hovering around 50%, divorce is no stranger to anyone. Marriage has changed greatly throughout its long existence. Statistics tell us that a sizeable proportion of them are doomed to end in divorce, the majority of couples live together before they marry and about 10% of couples with children decide never to marry at all. And, we are told, Catholics are living together, divorcing and remarrying at about the same rates as the rest of the community. If you were to judge what marriage is and should be by reading the magazines or watching television or by talking to people on the street, you'd be led to believe that it's a relationship founded on sexual compatibility and romance.
