Plans can be as unique as the couples themselves. In addition to planning for the wedding, many couples have attended pre-marital counseling to prepare their hearts and minds for marriage. Dr. Lee Magness speaks of the importance of preparation. Pat and I have been a part of the process of pre-marital counseling with couples that come to us with concerns for years. We encourage them to think very carefully about marriage and how it will affect them.
Marriage changes everything.
This change can be wonderful, if dealt with maturely. Or, it can be horrible. Counseling helps the couple to think through issues that they perhaps did not consider being potential problems. .

I was completely engulfed by the beauty of the castle.
