text: My comments are not disingenuous at all.  Look at the preparation time that is given to men preparing for the priesthood---compared to those getting married.  I am surprised at you comments, since you should know that Catholics don't always marry other Catholics, other Christians, other believers in God, or people of any religion at all.
  
  And surely you have seen the questions in the Foccus Communication Survey [required by some dioceses before marriage].  It is supposed to assist the couples in recognizing problems in the communication of troubling issues BEFORE they get married.  Unfortunately, many don't receive the guidance that they need before they pronounce their vows,
  and issues of excessive anger, jealously, a sense of vindictiveness becomes
  apparent only AFTER marriage.
  
  
  In today's world, it is HIGH time---that more compassion be shown to those whose marriages [and that's 50% of all marriages in the U.S.] fail.  "The quality of mercy is not strained."
