“An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.”
“Why isn’t this something that more people do?
They think they don’t need it. They say, ‘Oh, we don’t have any problems.’
It’s the stigma and mindset that counseling is only something you do when you’re screwed up.
You don’t need to have problems to go to premarital counseling any more than you need to be stupid to go to college.
A prevention mindset says ‘Hey, I’d like to know what it is I don’t know.’”
