Strong Marriages Can Last a Lifetime

Marriage prep allows you to plan and prepare for your marriage, not just focus on planning the wedding. Marriage preparation can help the two of you recognize and enhance your strengths, clarify your expectations for marriage, learn and practice communication skills, improve your conflict resolution skills, and develop more emotional and sexual intimacy. Most couples can create and maintain a strong relationship by developing healthy relationship habits, prioritizing their relationship and ongoing efforts to make their relationship worth their commitment to it.

Unfortunately, up to fifty percent of marriages end in divorce. And of those who stay together, only 50% report being happily married. These statistics could indicate that only 1/4 of married couples consider themselves happily married.

Preparing for your marriage can help you improve your chances of having a happy, successful marriage. There is evidence to indicate that couples who increase their positivity, learn to resolve conflict, prioritize their marriage, and avoid relationship traps, are able to increase their satisfaction and staying power.
