relationships : "insurance proofing" your marriage

The joys and excitement of planning your fabulous wedding day may set precedence on your to do list these days… However, have you thought past the wedding day and thought deeply about what your marriage will be like?

Marriage is a serious matter and shouldn't be entered into lightly. Are you thinking seriously about your relationship, investing time into it, willingly going to pre-marital counseling, making all possible efforts and attempts to ensure your marriage will be healthy and for the rest of your life? Are you “insurance proofing” your pending marriage?

If you have not thought about these matters, please take a few minutes to take this Relationship Health Profile Survey we recently came across (courtesy of Dr. Phil) and How Well Do You Know Your Partner Quiz (courtesy of Dr. Gottman of the Gottman Institute). Please note these are no "sound proof" surveys, nor does it serve as a substitute for pre-marital counseling (which we highly recommend to couples prior to marriage), nor do we agree with all of the questions asked; however it does help you take a snapshot look at your relationship, an honest look at yourself and an insight into what marriage could be like with your fiance regarding certain life matters.

We hope in some way this is a helpful communication tool to you and your fiance long before the big wedding day!

Happy + healthy relationship!
