FI and I had our first premarital counseling session with our pastor this morning. We'll be meeting with him once a month up until the wedding, which is only like SEVEN months away. Crazy!!! I was super nervous about it, but it really wasn't bad at all. I felt like a bit of an idiot tho, because as soon as we got in there he was like... uh, you guys should probably bring your bibles next time. Which is a huge duh on both of our parts I realize, but I had specifically asked FI when he came and picked me up if I needed anything and he told me no. Again, I obviously sould have realized. But next time I will be bringing my bible, and a notebook and something to write with. I will be prepared, lol.
He talked to us a little bit about the ceremony, and had a "ceremony planning book" that he is going to make copies of. It has readings, and the order of things and what not, and we'll kind of get to pick and choose different thing to make it suit us. Which will be very nice, I am happy about that. We also talked about the "four rules of communication" which is something they have taught at our church for a long time so we were very familiar with them (Be honest, keep current, attack the problem not the person, and act, don't react). He also said he is going to give us a workbook to go through together, and we got homework for next time, lol.
It feels so so much more real now, lol.
Anyone else going through counseling now or anytime soon? I know I have seen a few things on here about meetings with Pastors.
