Florida lawmakers consider mandatory ‘marriage prep’ guide
Tallahassee, Fla., Jan 16, 2018 / 12:00 am (CNA/EWTN News).- A bill presented to the Florida House of Representatives on Jan. 8 would require couples to review a state-published “Healthy Marriage Guide” before tying the knot.
“The statistics have been staggering over the years for divorces and kind of the subsequent problems that go along with that, like children who don’t have families that are put together,” said Republican Representative, Clay Yarborough, according to CBS 47.
Yarborough introduced the bill to the state House days after Republican Kelli Stargel introduced a version of it to the Senate.
The legislation would establish the Marriage Education Committee, who will be appointed by Florida’s Senate president, state speaker of the house, and the state’s governor. The six-person committee would develop the guide, serving a maximum term of one year.
Couples would be required to read the guide as a prerequisite for a marriage license. The guide would cover communication skills, fiscal control, conflict management, spousal abuse, and parenting responsibilities.
Additionally, the guide would offer marital advice and resources for extra premarital education or for potentially failing marriages.
The legislation’s supporters say that money for the project will be funded by private sources, but the financial backers have not been clearly identified.
If passed, the act would take effect in July 1, 2018.
