I think I mentioned this in another thread, but we have not gone through "premartial" counseling, but did do a 22 hour imago therapy workshop. It was interesting because you had all ages there, as well as all different stages of relationships. From dating, to engaged, to married for 30 years. Its a pretty intense workshop, but the best way to describe it...it gives you the tools to a successful marriage. We learned so much about each other that weekend, than we had in the 5 years we were together!

My FI and I met with our pastor this weekend to start our counciling. At first I wasn't very into the idea because I did not think we needed counciling, we have been together for 2 1/2 years and we are eachothers best friends. After the first part of our counciling I noticed it was not about getting to know one another, it was more about how god plays a role in our marriage and life once we have kids etc. I really enjoyed it and got a lot out of it, we still have one more weekend to go and I am actually looking forward to it.

We are doing pre-cana which is sort of premarital counseling for our church. Ours is in a group but we also had to each do a take-home test (it was over 150 questions!!) and next week we go over eachother's response. Even though we have been together over 9 years and thought we'd spoken about everything, there were some issues that we never really thought about. So it has been helpful in getting us to learn more about ourselves and each other.

Marriage is a big step and we've spoken a lot about our how families growing up lead to the expectations and fears that we bring into our new marriage. I would definitely recommend pre-marital counseling for everyone - I think it really helps you learn more about you and your relationship...and gets you discussing some things you wouldn't have even realized you should discuss.

      Cabo Azul Wedding Cost / Review

      By Emmma · Posted

      Hi everyone! I have been doing lots of research on various wedding venues all around Mexico, my fiance wants a destination wedding and I am happy to have a wedding wherever so long as the vibe is right and guests are happy!  I have been seriously looking at Cabo Azul and was trying to find potential costs for them, but only found a page about their wedding costs from 2010. Does anyone have any updated information on costs / reviews they would like to share of this venue? Or advice in general, anything helps. Thanks so much, happy wedding planning to all!

      Wedding venues and wedding planner in Costa Rica

      By KristinaH · Posted

      Hello everyone, I am dreaming of a wedding in Costa Rica and was wondering if I could get any help with venues and wedding planners. I am thinking Tamarindo because a close friend of mine lives there and I've been in town more than a couple of times, she's being helpful but is at a loss when it comes to this subject really so I was wondering if anyone here had recommendations. I am not closed to other town suggestions either, if I happen to find a good place and staff somewhere else. These are the places I have so far, has anyone had any experience with any of them?  Stay In Tamarindo Luxury Villas in Costa Rica Luxury Villas Pinilla Tropical Homes of Costa Rica The Point Luxury Villa Thank you so much for your help!
