Wedding Preparation versus Marriage Preparation
This can
sometimes get confused when you are engaged…..or maybe it was just me. I remember when my wife and I were engaged I
felt like our relationship was so amazing so maybe I just thought of wedding
preparation as marriage preparation. But
it’s not the same. Marriage preparation
is preparing for the marriage. Preparing
for your whole life as husband and wife.
Real Simple has made a list for preparation for a wedding. It has 70 checks on it that start from 16
months before your wedding and go up to the day of the wedding. Go to http://www.realsimple.com/weddings/weddings-planning/wedding-planning-checklist
to see the full list. Needless to say it
can get very complicated. It can be
months of preparation. Marriage preparation
can be very long also but it is different. You both need to work together to determine
how you communicate together. I think a
great way to do this is to start doing a family counsel while you are still
engaged. This can help you and your
spouse get in the habit of doing this before you get married. It would also be
a great idea to speak to a bishop or counselor who can provide useful
advice. Even a successful married couple
that you know could give great advice also.
