First Comes Love…

Our culture puts a huge emphasis on the wedding day. We focus on the venue, the date, the dress, the cake, and every little detail in between. But once the wedding day is over, many couples find themselves at a loss of what to do.

Here’s the problem: we spend too much time preparing for the wedding and too little time preparing for the marriage. When we put all our time and energy into the wedding celebration, we fail to put time and energy into getting ready for a commitment.

So as your friends or older children begin contemplating marriage, be sure to encourage them to prepare for the wedding AND the marriage. Help them learn and understand what a lifetime journey of commitment truly means!
