Early Marriage

Hello again!
This week in class we talked about the challenges that can happen in early marriage.

My teacher stressed over and over again that if you want a marriage to work out both spouses have to work very hard. It may not be easy all the time but it is completely worth it! I really liked this! When we work hard together things will always work out!

We also talked about a very interesting comparison...we compared tasks of early marriage to elements of a great marriage. He made an interesting point that wedding preparation is a time to practice vital skills for marriage. I included some of the things that we talked about below.

tasks of an early marriage                                                     elements of a great marriage
make decisions as a team                                             the wedding details are mutually   
                                                                                     determined
establish expectations                                                  be practical, frugal, realistic with planning
set clear boundaries                                                     tell family members what YOU want for your
                                                                                     wedding

I never thought that wedding preparation could be preparations for marriage but it makes sense! I hope everyone has a great week!
