Personally, I'd hate to find out after marriage that someone was terrible in bed, or hated things I thought were great (or vice versa).

Personally, I've always thought that there were at least a dozen other factors that are more important in making a successful marriage than being "good in bed." That is only important if your first priority is self-gratification--and in a marriage, an emphasis on self-gratification is a recipe for disaster. Marriages based on the mutual giving of oneself for the sake of the spouse are always the most successful.

And for what it's worth, you don't often hear the "not good in bed" complaint too often from observant Catholic couples that have a bunch of kids...

I didn't say there weren't more important factors, and there are. But if it's an area of incompatibility that can be avoided, I'd just as soon avoid it.

"You don't often hear the "not good in bed" complaint too often from observant Catholic couples that have a bunch of kids..."

I don't often hear them talking about it (not that I know many couples, Catholic or otherwise, who have a "bunch" of kids). You may be equating quality with quantity. :-D

And now, I'm out for the rest of the day. Happy Friday!
