- iWhich newsgroup would you suggest? The bulk of the advice they are likely
- to get on the net unless you choose the group really carefully is going to
- be really bad.

- If they are really willing to listen, this could work out well.
-
- I'm afraid they're very unprepared for marriage if they haven't dealt with
- the obvious issues. There are a lot of aspects of having a relationship
- that you just can't know about unless you get there or listen very well to
- those with experience.
-
- They won't listen to this, but I would strongly suggest that they wait
- and discuss and work out a lot of things before they go ahead. Can
- anyone out there recommend any good relationship books for them to go
- through? They can do a lot worse than to start with Dr. M. Scott Peck's
- "The Road Less Travelled".
-
- Good luck to the pair - they'll need plenty.
