Weddings are stressful because everyone wants a perfect wedding and that requires proper planning, which in turn consumes a lot of time focusing on the details. There are many couples who fear that they are not right for each other, after deciding on the wedding date. Many times, this is because they are not able to handle the stress. This is where pre-marital counseling can be helpful. This step doesn't mean that your relationship is falling apart. For many couples it can reaffirm their commitment to the relationship. Another important benefit to pre-marital counseling is that you may learn important communication skills that will help your relationship survive the long term.
As you plan your wedding, believe in your decisions and reflect on the mutual love and affection you feel for each other. Again, remember you said "Yes" for very solid reasons and as you build a life with your spouse the benefits of marriage will confirm that you have taken the right step.
