Wedding bells are in the air

This week in class we talked more about relationships and marriage. One point that I really liked was that however people start their relationship is usually how their relationship will continue. I never really thought very much about this concept but I definitely believe that it is true. I have observed many relationships and have noticed the good patterns in successful marriages have started long before these couples were married, during the time that they were dating. So remember that when you start dating someone be sure to start off on a good note, because research shows that is how the relationship will continue.

We also had a conversation about weddings, including the actual wedding ceremony and reception. We talked about how to make a wedding more focused on the actual couple and not so much on the festivities. This also tied in with another point that was made, in that we should plan for marriage not the wedding. Too many times people make such a big deal planing the wedding and forget to focus on what will happen after the wedding when real life sets in again.
