Weddings

While some people prefer the single life, anyone who craves partnership can tell you how good it feels to finally find “the one” and feel like the awfulness of dating is behind you. However, by viewing marriage as a milestone that once achieved can subsist on love alone without work or attention, we are setting ourselves up for failure, or rather, divorce.

Getting engaged is a big step in any relationship and can be the most enjoyable time or the most stressful time for the bride-to-be. Planning a wedding takes time and requires many decisions to be made with careful consideration and patience.

What are your must-haves and deal breakers in a relationship? Before getting married, it’s important to know your boundaries and who you are as an individual. After all, you can’t know if someone is good for you if you don’t know what you need.

While it’s true that every relationship could benefit from a little more effort from both partners, you may find your marriage is more awesome than you gave it credit for, which can be just the push you need to keep making positive changes.
