[quote=Anonymous]Pre-marital counseling!!! Seriously, it was so great at getting those "hidden expectations" out on the table. It gave us a venue to talk about those things we didn't realize we accepted as "normal" based on how we were raised--and whether or not we wanted to emulate those things in our own marriage/parenting adventure. It also helped us to pre-emptively discuss communication strategies and methods when we didn't have any major issues on the table, so tensions weren't high and emotions weren't raw. Down the road, when we have had tough things to talk about, we've had years and years of good communication practice under our belts to help us handle it. Plus, the premarital counseling was a fun time to reflect on how and why you love each other :) Our church offered it free (required it to get married, actually).[/quote]
