This was one example of a disaster marriage due to church approved courting practices. I could write a book on marriage disasters due to the practice of not even getting to know the person until engaged. But if I wrote a book somebody would figure out who all of these people are and I don't want to embarrass anyone.

At the age of 60, looking back at all I have seen, I can say that it is best to know the person well before marrying or you could have a life of unhappiness. What works in China or India does not necessarily work in America. The saying "marry in haste repent at leisure" is, in fact, quite true.
