Indeed to have preventative programs to help married couples deal with marital challenges with a practical approach is particularly valuable. Dysfunctional marriages negatively affect the life of each partner, family, and community. Premarital education is in an effort to push happy and healthy marriages.
Due to my depth clinical health care experience, all prevention measures should be viewed as advantageous means to the end. Government and religious establishments should develop Premarital education and counseling for the health of the community incorporated with Children and Family Services. “Child Protective Services (CPS) is the name of a governmental agency in many states of the United States that responds to reports of child abuse or neglect. Some states use other names, often attempting to reflect more family-centered (as opposed to child-centered) practices, such as "Department of Children & Family Services" (DCFS). CPS is also known by the name of "Department of Social Services" (DSS) or simply "Social Services."
Awareness of the psychology effects of divorce and single parent household, can recover the entire family structure avoiding marital dysfunction that may arise to domestic violence, child abuse, and mental health issues. “An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure” (Benjamin Franklin). “There are many reasons to expect a mother’s (re)marriage or union formation to improve the lives of children. For example, remarriage is associated with substantial improvement in the economic well-being of women and their children after a marital dissolution (Holden and Smock 1991; Peterson 1996 as cited in (Sweeney).
