Tips and Ideas - Start dealing with big decisions and issues early in your engagement, not later when you are busier and under more stress as the wedding approaches
- Have worship together as a couple once or twice a week.
The Big Decisions All of these need to be addressed--and most of them need to be decided--before you get married. This includes decisions like. . . - Where will you live? How will you afford to live?
- Who will manage the money?
- How will bank accounts, money, and money management be combined?
- Will the wife work? What about after children?
- What about family planning?
- What will your roles be as husband and wife ~ in the marriage and in the home?
- What will each of your responsibilities be?
