Principles to Consider Before You Say "I Do"

Congratulations! Finding someone with whom you plan to spend the rest of your life is a significant milestone. But it doesn't end with just desire for one another. Your engagement can be a time for preparation that goes beyond the church, the wedding gown, the showers and bachelor's parties.

If used wisely, your engagement can be a time of getting to know each other—not just in terms of dating—but in terms of looking at what it will mean to spend your life together year after year.

The questionnaire that follows is designed to start a conversation about what it means to be in partnership. Once the enthusiasm of your engagement has settled, you should begin to discuss and measure your expectations - regarding things like your love language, how you save or spend your money, and how you view the responsibility of raising children.

These questions touch on areas that have proven to be the most challenging when it comes to staying married for life!

It is our desire to help you discover more of who you are as a couple in the hope of creating an atmosphere where you will always feel free to discuss issues and marital topics well after you have said "I do!"
