Marriage Counseling?

[RLC12345678]

Yes! My hubby and I went to pre-marital counseling before we were married. Our church would not marry us unless we did. I am SO glad that we did it! It was actually fun for both of us! We actually looked forward to going. At the very first session, we each took a separate personality test that asked us questions about how we grew up, how we would handle certain situations, etc. etc. The test was sent off and our preacher received a report back and our counseling sessions were based on that report. There were certain areas that we were VERY campatible in, and other areas that we were not so compatible in and those areas were the ones that our counseling sessions were based on. We talked about money, careers, children, conflict resolution, our expectations, our fears, everything! It was a very rewarding experience. I wouldn't mind going back and doing something like that again after we've been married for several years.

Oh yeah, after all of our conseling sessions were over, our preacher looked at my hubby and me and told us that we were "suspiciously well-suited for each other and if anyone can make a marriage work, it would be us." I thought that was a great compliment.
