Making a Home
doesn't really start until after the wedding, but I think that what
happens before the wedding has a big impact on what kind of home you
will have after the wedding.
- Your attitudes about marriage and the making of a home,
- The psychological preparation you make (or don't make) for
marriage,
- Your self-care (and I don't mean "self-pampering" ~ I mean
true care of your physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual needs)
leading up to the wedding,
- The choices you make during your engagement ~ about your
relationship, about setting up housekeeping, about the wedding, etc.,
- The things you learn during this time ~ about yourself,
about your future wife or future husband, about family, about
homemaking, cooking, money management, or any other setting up housekeeping
topic,
build the foundation of your early married life. Whatever you want your
home to be then, you have to work toward that now. Let this be a
guiding principle in everything you do during your engagement in every Virtuous Weddings
category.
But, what about after the wedding? Okay, this isn't a homemaking site
but I haven't left you resourceless! Each category under Making a Home
includes some links or ideas especially for the newly married (Setting Up Housekeeping
has a lot of those too, even though it is geared toward pre-wedding
planning).
