Marital arts

Today, I was looking at old articles from the Straits Times.

On the 19th of December 1988, there was this article "Young adults panel wants 5-day week".

The article read: 'The Committee on Young Adults wants ... young men in national service to be trained in the marital arts as well as the martial arts.'

The article also quotes the Committee as saying: 'Since all young males go into national service in the critical years before courting and marriage, the Armed Forces should consider offering programmes on relationships, interpersonal skills and responsible social behaviour to help them for courting and marriage.'

Classic.

There are some people who don't want to fight - therefore should the Martial Arts also be ignored? Seriously though, any advice on marriage must be useful, even if that 'marriage' is between members of the same sex.
