When you stand at the altar waiting for your bride or groom on your wedding day, there are many factors that are a part of building a life-long marriage.
And with wedding preparations taking a whole lot of time, energy, organization and money, I do believe that there is often a forgotten addition to those preparations that will serve you well when your special day has come to end, and the honeymoon is over….and that is pre-marital counselling.
With over one third of marriages ending in divorce and an even higher rate of divorce for second marriages, it makes sense to consider pre-marriage counselling before taking that big step towards becoming husband and wife.
Marriage is perhaps the most complicated of human relationships. The process of joining two people together, with different expectations, beliefs and personalities in itself is a huge adjustment.
Back when my husband and I got married it was definitely not a priority, as we walked blindly into marriage with our rose coloured glasses on at the age of 20 and 22. Now, I highly recommend it as it establishes healthy habits and ideas that will help any couple deal with the issues that will arise during their marriage.
