So FI and I did our marriage prep this weekend. It was 9-4 yesterday and today. To be honest, I was kind of dreading it. I've had some struggles with my faith and I've been wanting to be more open/more trying with it. I was dreading it because I thought it'd be God in your marriage 24/7 and I'm still working on my faith. Well, I was pleasantly surprised. The presenters were really laid back and it wasn't completely religious. It was a lot of issues you should discuss before marriage like parenting, religions, your family, finances, etc. FI and I were really proud of ourselves because we literally talked about everything they told us and had it all worked out. There was even a game where the brides and grooms split up and were asked questions. You had to guess what your future spouse said and we nailed it haha. The communication session today was a little more difficult for me. I know we need to work no some issues like his family, I have issues with his friends, and some little things like problem solving. It's sometimes hard to talk to him about how FMIL bothers me but we did the questions in the book then exchanged. One was how do you feel about future in laws. We were able to talk about it so that was nice. I tend to just be like I'm fine and bottle stuff up so I think that stuff really helped.
Overall it was a great experience and I would recommend it to everyone!
