The 8 Essential Lessons Every Engaged Couple Needs to Know
LESSON 1: WHAT TO EXPECT (AND WHAT YOU ALREADY DO)
Take a look at the expectations you have for marriage — and the expectations your fiancé has, too — and find out what to do with them!
LESSON 2: WHAT GLASSES ARE YOU LOOKIN’ THROUGH?
It’s easy to get caught up in the ways you and your partner are different. But what if those differences could actually benefit your upcoming marriage?
LESSON 3: IS IT REALLY THE HARDEST PART OF MARRIAGE?
Communication. We’ve all heard that it’s the hardest part. But is it? We don’t think so! Get the tools you need to ace communication in your marriage.
LESSON 4: (IT’S NOT JUST ABOUT SEX!)
This lesson is all about intimacy — and we’re not just talking sex! From emotional intimacy to experiential intimacy, you’ll be guided through all you need to know to have great intimacy. (And great sex!)
LESSON 5: WHAT’S A MARRIAGE WITHOUT A LITTLE CONFLICT?
Oof. Conflict. Very few enjoy it, and no one likes to talk about it! But that’s exactly why we’re here to talk about it. But conflict doesn’t have to be something that tears you apart!
LESSON 6: IT AIN’T ABOUT THE MONEY (MONEY, MONEY)
Yaaaaay finances! Said no one, ever. *Except that one person. You are an exception.* Money can be tricky in marriage. But we’ve got a few tricks up our sleeves, too!
LESSON 7: YOU’RE PUSHING ME TO THE EDGE
The word “boundaries” can cause a whole lot of triggers in most people. But by the end of this lesson, we know you’ll see them as a great thing for your marriage!
LESSON 8: IN-LAWS, PARENTING, KIDS, OH MY!
Family is complicated. No matter how wonderful (or not-so-wonderful) your own family is, bringing a new person into a family has a whole lot of challenges!
