    Ok, better get started with the essay then :)

    Let me know how it goes. I love essays, that was always my favorite part of school. Maybe because I always did really well on them. ;)

    That and art.

    I almost miss school. :(

    Ok, finished with the introduction. Now, the first paragraph. With what should I start ? Hmm...

    Incompatibility/immaturity seem to get along in the same paragraph

    I like it.

    I'd love to read it when you're done. :)

    :eek: That makes 8 body paragraphs (I hope that will amount up to that) and the introduction and the conclusion! I'll take some time, for sure. I'll try my best to finish and send it to you via email.

    Ok, where was I? Ah, the most frequent cause of divorce is immaturity in between the couple. Wait, that should be in my copybook :eek:

    LOL! I miss this!

    I wish I could write it for you Unky, but that would be against the rules. ;)

    Ok, first two paragraphs complete. On to the next, lack of physical contact/laziness/energy in marriage.

    I'm getting a little trouble on supporting the fact that counselling saves marriages. I googled, and keep getting sites saying that only 10-12% of marriages are saved :eek:

    Ok, I put 80% even though I'm not sure if that's true...

    Finished the thing! :D

    It depends on the counseling, the counselor, it also depends on what the couple is going into counseling for.

    Most couples that go to counseling to get help with dealing with an extramarital affair sadly do not make it. It's a hard thing to accept. It's a hard thing to get over.

    As for counseling for financial issues, I don't know the percentage of success but I would guess that it's a lot higher then 10 - 12%.

    Sorry Unky, I don't have the stats at my fingertips and you've already googled so that obviously won't help. :(

    Anyway, you were of great help !:) Thank you!

    I guess those are some sort of advertisements that try to deter people from going to counsellors.

    Oh, does it exist, a place where couples are allowed to stay together in a home to get to know each other better before getting married? I seem to have heard of that, but I'm not sure...

    I've never heard of that Unky.

    I know that there is marriage counseling for couples planning to get married. A lot of churches offer it. R and I had to go through some classes at the church before we got married. With R's wise arse remarks I'm surprised that the Pastor didn't kick us out. ;)

    I have to get to bed, it's getting late and I have a very full day planned tomorrow, lots to do.

    I'm glad that I helped at least a little bit.

    Good night Unky. :)

    Well, no reference required. It's a basic essay. You are given a title, you only need to develop. Then, it is good, my teacher says to support my ideas with concrete examples. I'm trying my best to find some, but it's not that easy at times for certain topics.

    Like for example, if I had an essay on advantages and disadvantages of an extended family. Of course, there are arguments, but the examples? Perhaps I can take the royal family of England, and then, I need different examples to support each idea. It's a real pain to do that... :(
