Pre Marriage Consoling? Good or Bad idea?

Question

I am getting married next year. We dated for over two years before I asked for her hand in marriage. We currently do not live together, but spend 5 days a week together. We have an excellent relationship, but I know marriage is a big step. I really want to go into marriage with a good idea of what to espect. I want to be a good husband, and eventually a good father to our children. Would it be in our best benifit to get pre-marriage consouling? If so, how long should and how often should we go before we get married. Thanks for the advice.

Answer 1

YES GO TO PRE-MARRIAGE COUNSELING.

You both get to talk about everything that you need to. You might think you already have but I am sure you haven't. Counseling is a good start to a life of communicating.

That's what marriage is about.

I went twenty two years ago and my wife and I learned then that communicating is the most important part of marriage.

Answer 2

you can try it but its one of thing you and your future wife should understand that counseling can only work if both are willing to listen and learn from it. I tried it at the end of the marriage but it was useless since both of us had issues. Communication is the most important thing you can do in a relationship. Don't let things buildup and be unsatisfied because if it is not out in the open the other will have no idea what is wrong.

Answer 3

there in nothing wrong with that at all. some churchs offer this counsling. yes marriage is a very big step for both of you. from just what you wrote it sounds like you probably will make a wonderful husband. most men would not consider counsling it's great you are open minded to the idea because there may come a time in your marrage that you may need counsling once again. best of luck to you

Answer 4

Go before you get engaged.

Answer 5

yes go for it right now
