And dumb too....:)  

I think that counseling someone not to marry a particular person is many
times a useless venture...for when they have gotten involved to be asking
that question they are too blind to see any wrong and everyone that says
otherwise is just against them just does NOT understand...

The bulk of counseling about marraige should be done long before a person is
old enough to date...I am firm believer that there is a message beyond what
people have seen in the scripture which instructs us to raise them up in the
way they SHOULD go..

Teach them things before they need to know it...just as you would let
someone know that their turn is coming before they get to it....if you wait
too late they will too much momentum to be able to make the necessary
changes and either miss the turn entirely or wreck trying....

God told us to raise them up...teach the ways they SHOULD walk...teach them
early...be specific...when they are not emotionally involved they can see
clear...though most would think they were too young...on the contrary...the
time most people choose to teach lifes lessons is at a time when they
are...indeed...too old...too far into the trees to see the forest...

For those who seem to be making a wrong decision...it usually doesn't do any
good to even try...but PLEASE try...if only one is convinced it will be
worth every effort...but IF you still have that opportunity...teach them
early...teach them TOO early...don't wait for them to make mistakes and then
correct them...teach them their steps before they have to take them...we
were called to correct...but MOSTLY to teach..
