The Bachelor in tatters? Love and hope and sex and dreams Are still surviving on the street

A Pine Rest Family Institute email references the image of marriage and “The Bachelor,” with reality TV’s Jason Mesnick and Molly Malaney of Grand Rapids. The Institute notes that some marriage counselors criticize such shows as exploiting the collective hope we place in marriage. It links to:
an Oregon Daily Emerald article in which Emma Juhlin wrote (excerpt):
“It’s just fun and smiles and sex,” Thurlow said. Shows like “The Bachelor,” she said, ignore important steps in developing strong relationships. “I think they minimize the vows people make to each other when they get married.”

“One of the highest correlations in a successful relationship is friendship,” Schultz said.

Thurlow advises couples considering marriage to know the most important qualities in their partner, to learn good conflict resolution and to develop communication skills.
