Few decisions in life have greater impact on one’s happiness than the decision to marry.   Exploring values and developing a process for working through conflict can help people prepare for marriage and help make the marriage more successful.  Areas of exploration can include:

• Affirming what you like and appreciate about each other
• Identifying what you want in your marriage (values and goals)
• Recognizing your expectations about your roles in marriage
• Exploring your attitudes about money (earning, spending, saving, investing, giving)
• Recognizing the differences in your emotional styles
• Developing a good sexual relationship
• Identifying any problems that already exist 
• Learning good communication skills
• Developing methods of working toward solutions
