Getting ready to pop the question? Or maybe you already have, and she said yes. Wherever you are on the road leading to marriage, there’s no doubt you want it to last forever and be the best it can be. One of the key ingredients to a successful marriage is premarital counseling. Let’s take a look at a few reasons why.
Planning the Future
There are countless decisions that will need to be made over the course of your marriage. Some of these include whether or not to have children, how many children to have, what happens if you can’t have children, where you’ll live, where you’ll work, or whether or not you’ll work.
Handling the In-Laws
How much information about your relationship is shared with the family is important. Too much information could put a strain on your marriage. Is there a mutual understanding of what boundaries you have when it comes to your extended families?
Facing and Addressing Issues
You aren’t even married yet, so you might be wondering how there are issues to address already. Maybe “concerns” is a better word. If there is anything you are looking at and sweeping under the rug saying, “Oh, it’s not that bad,” that is exactly the type of issue that could end up growing into a bigger problem down the road. It’s best to address even the smallest of concerns in premarital counseling so you and your partner can gain insight and understanding early on and prevent the little things from turning into big things.
