For most however, it isn't something they even consider until the marriage is in trouble. You might be surprised to learn that marriage counseling as it is normally practiced has a success rate of only about 20% in saving troubled marriages. Often times marriage counseling can actually weaken the marriage even further!<br /><br /><br /><a href="http://www.aacounseling.com" rel="nofollow">marriage counseling san diego</a>Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10512196075523575305noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1578051917982449134.post-57406772997039956912010-06-16T23:31:16.817-07:002010-06-16T23:31:16.817-07:00I'm a lawyer of some years' experience.

Not a blogger's summary, I read Mr. Cooper's own words.<br /><br />As a lawyer, I must tell you that those arguments were circular and superficial. They never went to the heart of what the court wanted him to answer, which was how same-sex marriage harmed the institution of marriage. Mr. Cooper came close to that analysis only briefly in many, many pages, and then he had only vague generalities. This is the same attorney who, when questioned in open court on this same point, said "I don't know, I don't know."<br /><br />By contrast, Mr. Olsen's arguments struck me as rigorous and compelling. If they seemed "emotional" it was not because they lacked a firm legal basis (because they very definitely DID have solid legal grounds and stated them well), it was because Mr. Olsen and Mr. Boies both recognize the deep injustice which Proposition 8 inflicts and are passionate about reversing it.Robhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02992194211469009236noreply@blogger.com
