How often have you heard the statements,‘Most people spend far more time in preparation for their vocation than they do in preparation for marriage,’or‘Before you plan your wedding, plan your marriage. Well, both statements are true. Marriage is a decision worthy of serious forethought and preparation, and great marriages require being intentional even be-fore you say“I do.” Moreover, as wonderful as a wedding is, it lasts only a few hours, while the marriage, we hope, will last for a lifetime. So, if you want to prepare for marriage and build a successful, lifelong marriage this session is for you!
