Would you support a government policy that encouraged relational education prior to getting married or having the 1st offspring? The idea would be to improve the quality of relationships in your country and thus reduce social burden and improve livelihood of people. The reward would be a tax benefit for the married couple.

Example policy would provide educational support courses [at a certain age], training on relationships, and professional counseling for the woman and man. A certification test would be required and approval from a counseling board. Certification is required and standards would have to be upheld. Approved counselors would need to provide approval they are ready for marriage. They could get married without approval, but would not get the tax benefit if they failed. Followup counseling sessions would also be required as part of the plan.

If a child is on the way or within some period of time, they have to attend a variety of training classes on nutrition, relationships, parenting skills, counseling. Counseling could lead to other required treatments for mental health. Certification is required and if they are not approved, they don't get the benefit (see below) and have to continue

Reward for the work would be a deduction on taxes. The deduction on taxes would be an immediate loss to tax payers with the idea being would reduce social costs in crime and improve social well being.

There is a net gain in jobs, so some benefit in economic activity... although the money comes from social taxation... cost to tax payers in short term.


Note: Flaws: at some point if enough people are married... single people are paying for married people and there aren't enough of them... yea... nothing is perfect... details...

After 5 years of ongoing treatment for major depression. I've realized I have a crush on my nurse practitioner. We're both older. She's a bit younger than me. Still in great shape. Both physically and mentally. I really want to have a closer ongoing relationship. I see her every 90 days. I'd love to have her perform oral sex and vice versa. It could go even further. My sessions with her are an hour. Not only counseling, but she watches my body language and if I'm looking at her straight in the eye. Or evading from looking at her. I don't know how long I have to be treated. But I know it'll be at least another 5years. She's sort of coy. Maintaining her control, but opening up. Outside very professional. Inside, I think she's a little sex kitten. After years of education. I think she didn't have any time to explore and let go. She's married and has a stable marriage. This could be our sexual fantasies worked out. Our secret. Should I just go straight to the point and ask her. Or remain my sexual fantasy. And take care of it when I go home? Comments!

My wife is not unattractive. However, I crave conversation and emotional intensity in a relationship. In spite of her physical attractiveness, I am bored trying to converse with her. For many years we had no meaningful conversation at all. I am well educated professor and she has an associates degree. Should I divorce her and find a more conversant spouse or try to stick it out. I am currently not in love with her and told her this. The one thing I like is that I am familiar with her and she helps raise the kids. We had some marriage counseling.
