Marriage for a Lifetime: Pre-marital Counseling Sessions
Most engaged couples prepare more for the wedding than they do their marriage. The $20-billion-a-year wedding industry can testify to that fact. According to experts the average two hundred guest wedding today costs $15,000 to $30,000. More than one million copies of bridal magazines are sold each month, focusing mainly on wedding ceremonies, honeymoons, and home furnishings, but not on marriage itself. The truth is that a fifth of all marriages in America are preceded by some kind of formal marriage preparation.
One wonders what would be the effect if the same amount of time, energy, and money spent on the ceremony was invested in the marriage. Planning the perfect wedding too often takes precedence over planning a successful marriage, and lack of planning is the ultimate saboteur of marriage.
