Re: School Visit

I do see why they might have been interested from hearing from a younger couple as well, I remember being 16 and thinking 25 was totally ancient and anyone over 30 might as well have been an alien. The trouble with young couples though, is that by definition they haven't been married very long and therefore cannot explain what a long marriage is like, the difficulties faced and how they can be overcome! Ideally I suppose you need a young couple they can "relate" to and an older one who can tell it how it is. Or maybe you should take in photos of when you were young and first married to remind them that you were not always this age and once you were just like them? Just a thought.

Ps Totally agree about the nanny state thing and it not being their place to teach this to my children. But feel my hand are tied other than complaining vociferously all the time about it- like I said, if I remove her from the class she will hear it anyway, but garbled and secondhand. Catch 22
