Engaged Couples
Congratulations on your engagement!
In order to increase the odds of making your marriage to this person, whom you are head over heals in love with, a marriage that lasts a lifetime, we suggest a proactive marriage preparation program. For specific suggestions on what to include in YOUR marriage preparation program, click on Marriage Preparation Suggestions or Second Marriage Preparation Suggestions
Weddings are stressful in large part because the people in our lives have their own opinions, problems or issues around our wedding. Marriage starts the day you get engaged so dance carefully around family and as a couple when it comes to highly emotional things like
who should be part of the first dancewedding budget, money, who paysfuture mother in law or parentsperhaps tremendous stress caused by divorced parents or in lawsContinue to invest in your marriage relationship even after the wedding! Would you buy a new car and then never change the oil? Of course not - you recognize the importance of "preventive maintenance" for your car. The same exact principle applies to your marriage. We strongly suggest that every married couple participate in some sort of structured "Marriage Enrichment" program every year of their marriage; that's one of the best ways to "keep your love alive". We even have a section on this web site of special programs for Newly Married Couples; check it out either now, or soon after the wedding.
