Hey ladies!!

I hope everyone's planning is going well. Question: Are you ladies doing pre-marital therapy?? If so, are you receiving this service from you local pastor/priest etc. or are you using a therapist?

I wanted to get started with this however I do not know which route to take...

Thanks!

    If you are getting married in a church or temple then majority of them now a days require pre-martial counseling through the religious organization. Catholic Church's have required pre-cana since vatican 2 I believe. 

    By the way it isn't therapy. Therapy implies that you are going for treatment. Pre-cana or pre-marital counseling is when the couple goes to talk to a religious offical, mediation couple, or family counselor to evaluate how "ready" you two feel as a couple for marriage. They help mediate discussions of money, family, sex, work, etc.  Since these are huge factors that come up and marriage. They just want to make sure the lines of communication are following and imporantant topics are being discussed.

    My faince and I are getting married in my catholic church so we are going to start our pre- cana soon.

    My FI and I are taking an 8 week class through our church that is based on the movie Fireproof. =) If you haven't read The Love Dare, I recommend it!

    I have watched the Fireproof movie and while the baseline is a good message it isn't going to appeal to everyone.  Did you know that there was some guy who was caught for the murder of his wife and at the time he was wearing a fireproof shirt, how sick is that.

    Seriously? That's horrible! Yes, I realize it may not appeal to everyone (but was just saying what we're doing). =)

    not saying it is a bad thing Jennifer, no one would argue with the message of treating your spouse with love and respect (at least sane people wouldn't) I just don't like the entire story line of how it is protrayed.  Parts were really cheesy for me and my FI.
