16. FINDING TRUTH in LICENSE TO WED

17. LIFE CONNECTIONS in LICENSE TO WED The story of License to Wed was inspired by a friend of co-screenwriter Kim Barker who was getting married and told her about a marriage prep course he was taking. Barker recalls: There was a particular church where my friend and his fiancée wanted to get married, but before the minister of the church would marry them, he required that they pass his marriage prep course. Then my friend described the minister and how he seemed a little off because he was swearing a bit in their first meeting, which made me laugh. Answer: Premarital counseling is of questionable effectiveness. It is too early to tell whether Covenant Marriage Laws (which mandate premarital counseling) will gain in popularity. In addition, it will take many years for researchers to assess the effectiveness of this type of marriage contract and to determine whether it helps couples avoid divorce.
