Newly
Married
Congratulations
on your recent wedding!
By now you have
probably discovered that there are some thorns in your bed of marriage roses. The reality is that everybody's marriage
has thorns in their beds of marriage roses. So, if you have not already learned to "cut" those thorns
or turn the stem so it is no longer constantly causing you pain, then you need to start learning quickly before
the pain becomes overwhelming.
In this section
we list resources specifically geared for recently married couples. These programs can give you the foundation
and support you need to begin the process of building a healthy marriage that will last forever. And don't
feel that you are limited to only these resources; feel free to check out the programs listed on the other areas
of this web site. This will help you find the program (or programs) that seem most appealing to you. In particular,
we strongly encourage you to check out the "Marriage Classes" listed within the Marriage Enrichment section of this website to find
courses that teach the skills and knowledge to form and sustain a healthy marriage. If your dream of a happy, healthy
marriage includes having it be a lifelong marriage, then we strongly encourage you to continue to gain additional
relationship skills and knowledge throughout your lifetime.
We
highly recommend you become an informed consumer before you sign up for one of these programs. Possible questions
you might ask include:
1.
What is your experience and training in this program?
2.
Is this program based on research and can you supply me with the references for the research articles it is based
on?
3.
What is the total cost for attending this program and how long does it last?
4.
What are the specific relationship skills and knowledge taught in this program?
5.
What are your expectations of us as participants?
