It may seem strange to think about preparing for the journey ahead. After all, he’s only just popped the question and she’s only just said yes.
If you are marrying for the first time, if you’ve been married before, or if you are blending families, our premarital and relationship counseling in Colorado Springs can help. In the excitement of planning a new life together, couples are quickly overwhelmed with the wedding plans, honeymoon travel, housing arrangements, finances, family, and the general merriment of all the exciting changes.
