You Can Build or Destroy – Which Do You Choose?
Such a no-nonsense title – of course we would choose to build instead of destroy … right? Well, I find myself believing this is what I'd choose but if I'm honest and I take inventory of the words I've used throughout the day, I'd have to say there are times I really didn't choose to build so . . . I guess that leaves the other .. I chose to destroy.
Ouch that hurts — and I can only imagine how our words of "destruction" pierce the heart of our Father in Heaven when one of His children is destroying another with their words. If we were all honest, we would realize that at times we choose to destroy others with our words even if we aren't really thinking that is what we are doing.
Do You Need Pre Marriage Counseling?
The fact that you are looking at this article about pre marriage counseling indicates that you are likely in a very serious relationship. Now you and your lover are contemplating ramping it up some on the committment scale. You love each other. Isn't that enough? Why would you desire to bare your souls before some stranger in pre marriage counseling sessions?
Well, perhaps injecting some 3rd-party objectivity into the situation would be helpful. Having learned from many years of interpersonal behavioral research, professional counselors are quite knowledgeable about what makes people do what they do, and how they respond to stressful situations and crises. They know methods by which couples can achieve greater satisfaction and improved communication in their marriages. Before you say “I do”, my advice to you is you should participate in pre marriage counseling. This will do two things for you. First, it will help you and your partner get to know each other better. And second, it will help you both to learn about the challenges and rewards that lie ahead for you as a married couple.
