Why Prepare for marriage?

After deciding to get married, many couples turn their attention to wedding planning. Of course, a beautiful wedding is a great way to start a marriage, but it’s just that…a start. It’s marriage planning that creates the foundation for a long-term successful relationship.

Couples who participate in marriage preparation programs report better communication, greater emphasis on the positive aspects of their relationship, and improved overall relationship quality.
