Pre-Marital Counseling A Gift 

Madison and Jeffrey had been dating only a short time before they married. Their courtship was marked by the incredible amount of time that they spent together as a couple. They really never spent a moment apart once they had found each other.

When many couples enter into the romance stage of a relationship, it is common to spend almost too much time together. Couples in this stage really don’t see the negative side of their partner. During this stage, the entire relationship is so very exciting. An overwhelming feeling of happiness is the most common denominator as well as an intense physical desire for each other. The newness and excitement, stimulated by the production of bodily chemicals, actually increase energy and positive emotions as well as a sense of heightened sexuality and sensuality. It is common for couples in this stage to commit to each other permanently because they feel only the best for each other rather than the reality of what the relationship, and the partner, really are.

When Madison and Jeffrey committed to marriage, they were still in the deep pools of the Romance stage. Enraptured with each other, they had not yet begun to see or accept those personality traits that were less than endearing.

When Madison and Jeffrey entered into pre-marital counseling, it was at the urging of the Mother of the Bride, who had been married long enough to see that this young couple needed to have a reality check before affirming their permanency.

Pre-marital counseling is a gift, and sometimes it is given by someone with experience.
