| MARRIAGE PREPARATION

GETTING READY FOR THE CEREMONY


Couples marry for all kinds of reasons, but usually it's for love.


by Evelyn Pothier
To get a better understanding of what a couple is getting into, most religious institutions insist that couples take part in marriage-counselling sessions. Some counselling programs include a weekend retreat. During the sessions couples are asked questions that each partner answers separately. The answers help them and their counsellor understand what each engaged couple know about each other.

At these sessions, and if the couples are paying attention to the questions and answers, you can discover some things about each other that you had overlooked during your courtship.

Once a couple is engaged and decides to marry, different feelings start to surface. When the wedding plans start to evolve, the bride-to-be is often very absorbed in planning the celebration. Sometimes her intended sees this as a change in her personality, which can start a conflict between the two that is hard to resolve. Change creates emotional stresses that aren't necessarily easy to deal with - issues over families, money, wedding plans and where the couple  are going to live afterward. If there are unresolved problems going into the marriage, they probably won't diminish during it.

No one can go through the marriage counselling program for you - this is one of those things you have to do on your own. When you are booking your wedding date ask the officiant if they require you to attend a marriage counselling program. If either one of you doesn't want to attend, it's time to look at each other more carefully.

There are questions you can ask yourself, especially if you develop concerns about your upcoming marriage.

1. What do we argue about? How do we resolve the arguments?

2. Do we discuss things when one of us has something bothering us?

3. Do either of us have an addiction or disorder that is going to hurt our relationship? (Don't forget workaholics can cause as much harm as an alcoholic).

4. Do we share things with each other? Are we jealous, control-freaks or suspicious?

5. Who is the first one to kiss and make up?
