Preparing for Your Big Day

Have you ever wondered how much a wedding actually costs? According to ehow.com, most surveys from 2010 show that a couple spends an average of $27,000 on their wedding! That’s a lot of cash, but it’s really not surprising. The wedding day is one of the biggest days in a couple’s life. A significant amount of time, energy, and money go into the making this special day exactly how the bride and groom have dreamed it to be. So, the incredible amount of money and preparation that go into a wedding day really makes a lot of sense.

But I think there’s a more important question we must ask. How much do couples prepare for their marriage? Shouldn’t preparing for marriage be a higher priority than preparing for one day? Sadly, many couples don’t prepare for marriage. And as a result, many marriages don’t make it. Marriage is certainly worthy of preparation, and the best time to prepare for marriage is before you say I do.

Premarital counseling (or marriage preparation as some call it) is a great way to start your marriage off on the right foot. Premarital counseling provides a husband and wife-to-be a great opportunity to visit potential challenges and better prepare for their life together.

At The Connection Place, we provide engaged couples with multiple counseling sessions to explore a wide variety of topics in preparation for their big day. We’ll talk about everything from sex to children and in-laws to money. We’ll talk about how to argue and how to make up.

So, If you’re engaged or just thinking about getting married, call today to inquire about premarital counseling sessions for you and your significant other. Your relationship is truly worth it!
