February 23, 2017
00:00
Don’t just plan a wedding. Prepare to be married.
It’s natural for the romantically drunk, dopamine intoxicated, engaged couple to assume married life is going to be fantastic. But believe it or not, anybody married longer than six months will tell you there is work involved in every great marriage. Learn all you can about stepfamily living. Read a book together. Or get premarital counseling at your church. It can lower your risk of divorce by 30 percent. Don’t let the complexity of stepfamily living blindside your marriage. Prepare for it.
