Attending a marriage prep Sunday School class in a singles ward is a lot like attending an Alcoholics Anonymous meeting for the first time: everyone looks a little uncomfortable, nobody will acknowledge they have a "problem," and you feel like you constantly need to explain yourself.

"I'm just here to support my roommate," you say. "I usually go to Gospel Doctrine."

This is silly, of course. There's no reason to be ashamed of marriage, and, as I'll discuss in this article, I think our generation would do well to erase the stigma many of us have attached to the sacred institution.

That said, I only went to marriage prep so I could write an article about it.
