Any one been to pre-marital counseling?
My husband and I had pre marital counseling from my pastor. I was very apprehensive because my pastor is also my brother! It was the most fun I'd had in a while. Because I am a born again believer, it wasn't as intense as I thought it would be. He basically had us define what we thought marriage was about, he asked us why we wanted to be married to one another. He asked for reasons why couples don't stay together, etc. All of the answers we gave to him, he contrast those with pages from the bible and showed us how to apply spiritual things to our natural lives. It was great. He told us that effective communication and the embodied commitment to stay together is essential for a lasting marriage. He let us know that it wasn't always going to be roses (as we have found out in a short time), but that if we were committed and put God first, we could go wrong. I would like to say to you that when you feel you can't go on in the marriage, go back to what it was that made you want to be together with your spouse in the beginning and recapture those feelings as a base point to rebuild on. He did not ask us personal questions about our life, but he did let us know that is essential and we must desire one another in the spirit of Erros love. (erros means the spirit of desire-errogenous)
