These are all very well articulated clinical arguments. However, something should be said to address the speed at which couples date and marry in certain circles. If a relationship comes to marriage after just 8 dates, with a wedding but weeks later, do the couple have enough time to really get to know one another, setting aside discovery of underlying or even more prevalent mental or physical health issues? Are we as parents rushing and/or pushing too hard to marry off kids for the wrong reasons. I know it is contrary to popular belief, but meet, date, get to know each other, fall in love, get married and have kids, etc… Less “buyers” remorse that way…
