If you’re done feeling overwhelmed with wedding planning every time you communicate with your partner and you’re ready to illuminate the love and union you’re about to make.
Then it’s time to shine the light on your marriage!
Why has wedding planning taken over your engagement, despite it being what you’ve always dreamt of
After spending years working with wedding couples, what Vicci and Helen have learned is that when people get engaged they go straight into planning a wedding.
Pay attention because this is one of the most important (and foundational things) you’ll learn & if you don’t get it right now, it could cost you your marriage.
Where most people think engagement is all about planning a wedding, or that marriage won’t change anything about their relationship – what they’re missing is the CRUCIAL step that comes before anything else;
Actually Preparing for marriage.
Without preparing for your marriage and shining a light on the most important part of your wedding, your union, when the honeymoon is over and marriage becomes challenging, you’ll have missed out on the crucial steps to having a healthy and successful marriage.
To have a long, healthy and successful marriage…
…you have to master the art of communication and the universal love that brings you both together.
But There’s a Problem:
- You’re spending so much time planning the wedding that you haven’t had or got any time for the two of you to reconnect.
- All you talk about is the wedding, you’re slightly concerned about what you’ll talk about after.
- With the everyday stresses of life with work, friends and family, you haven’t had a chance to think about what comes after the wedding.
- There are so many decisions to be made it’s become really overwhelming and you’re starting to wish the wedding would hurry up and get here.
- Your partner isn’t getting too involved in the wedding planning which is adding more stress to you and making you feel like why are you bothering.
- You’ve already got a pretty easy relationship, you can’t wait to get married, and don’t think much will change once your married.
- You could never convince your partner to do a pre-marriage course.
- There’s so much to think about the whole day you’ve barely had time to think about the ceremony.
- You’re spending so much on the wedding, the financial strain is taking a toll on your both leaving you questioning whether you should have just eloped.
Say Goodbye to feeling disconnected as a couple.
A lack of focus on anything but the wedding keeps you on the hamster wheel of wedding planning, leaving you feeling overwhelmed, tense and making wedding planning feel like a chore and something you ‘have to do’ rather than an enjoyable process.
You’re constantly under pressure of trying to make this your best day of your lives, making you feel the strain and wondering why you didn’t just elope.
Then you feel totally disconnected from the real reason behind all the stress, creating a huge disconnect between you and your partner.
The disagreements dampen your excitement about the wedding and you end up questioning why you decided to get married in the first place, which quickly spirals into feeling resentment.
What’s going to happen to your life if you DON’T prepare for marriage?
Time invested now ensures you both value & commit to the foundations of a strong, healthy and successful marriage.
Not understanding the values and vision you both hold for marriage creates frustration and conflict… Preparation opens up clarity on what you both truly value and what your expectations are of marriage. You’ll always have these values to come back to no matter what decisions or challenges come your way.
A difference in communication triggers disconnection and resentment in couples… However, an understanding of each other’s love languages helps ensure you receive love in a way that makes you feel loved and you show love in the way your partner receives love (these are often not the same).
Expectations brought into your marriage from your family of origin can cause ongoing trials and tribulations and affect other members of your families or friends… A clear understanding of your expectations of roles and responsibilities as your marriage proceeds will ensure there is less conflict with others and keep you as a new family unit setting your own traditions and ways of doing things.
Marriage preparation creates strong, healthy relationships with deep respect, universal love and connection.
