Premarital
Laying a firm, informed foundation for your upcoming marriage is the most important and beneficial work you can do as you prepare to say “I do”. Neglect it under the romantic notion of presumption and you will surely create unnecessary problems for both you and your soon to be spouse. Everything matters in this transition from single hood to marriage; finances to food, work to recreation, communication to sex dealing with children and sharing the responsibilities of what gets done when and by whom.
You will be amazed at the differences and commonalities that most couples are not even aware of. Things that both delight and irritate. Things that will make you look at one another and say “I never knew...?” Premarital counseling provides the format to get a jump on what will come later so that you will not be taken by surprise (or at least too much) when it happens.
So, a little thoughtful work up front can spare you some big and irksome headaches later. By the way pre marital counseling is for anyone contemplating marriage whether it is a first marriage or otherwise.
