Jeff and Debbie are dating, and things are going very well. So well, in fact, that they are seriously discussing marriage.
Theres just one thing. Debbie does a lot of volunteering with troubled teenagers. Her apartment has become a home away from home for some of the girls, and she wants that to continue after shes married, as well. While Jeff admires Debbies volunteer work and her dedication to the teenagers she helps, he values the privacy of a home, and doesnt want his to turn into a halfway house.
Jeff is sure that, once theyre married, Debbie will see how beautiful it is when a couple saves their time at home for each other and guards their privacy, and will curtail her open-house policy. Debbie, for her part, is sure that once she and Jeff are married, he will see how beautiful it is when a couple gives up some of their privacy in order to help those who are not as fortunate, and will be more than happy to adopt an open-house policy for her teenage friends..
Jeff and Debbie get married.
Four months later, theyre in counseling.
Why?
Because they didnt know the truth that could have saved them:
Never get married...
