In reply to the discussion: Daughter discovers her fiance is conservative [View all]vaberella
(24,634 posts)I'm very supportive of this because of a story one of my friends had shared with me. One of her closest friends was getting married to a woman that he adored. They went to the counseling and there were a few things they didn't agree on. One of them was children. She didn't want any, and he wanted to have a family. He had hoped to change her mind later on in the marriage. She never did which led to both wasting away 5 years and he had to deal with being cuckold. Needless to say, the poor man has been disillusioned with relationships since and has been single since. I would have her go and keep in mind that he most likely won't change later. Normally that doesn't happen. If she can't handle it, then they might not be compatible.
Anyway, I think this is a great move on her part to make sure they're right for each other. As a side note, all churches should have this as a prerequisite and they should have this in City Hall too. It's such a helpful service. I wonder if this is something planned parenthood should help with too.
Lastly, I hope the best for your daughter and her future husband. I actually hope they can work it out because he truly loves her to want to spend the rest of his life with her. I also wish you all the best. I know if things do, God forbid, not work out you'll be the one picking up the pieces.
Happy Holidays,
