Pre-Marriage Counseling

Shawn and I are getting married in the church that I grew up attending and they offer pre-marriage counseling. Although I'm a little nervous about it since I'm not exactly sure what to expect, I think it's a great idea. From what I understand about the counseling is that we will learn how to relate to one another and communicate with each other more effectively. Now I think that we already communicate fairly well, but it never hurts to learn how to communicate better.

Communication is one of the most important keys in maintaining a healthy relationship. Being able to communicate effectively with your partner helps you understand them, helps you communicate your respect for them, and helps to resolve conflict. Communicating effectively with your partner is very important in deciding life changing decisions, such as whether or not to have children and how to raise them. Although communication is not the only thing that goes into a healthy relationship, learning to communicate is one way to have a happy marriage that lasts a lifetime.
