The importance of communication in a marriage cannot be stressed much upon. But it holds similar weight age prior to the marriage as well. And so, before stepping in, it is very much important to be able to talk openly, about anything to everything. It’s important to convey your expectations regarding things such as finances, household roles, intimacy, children, the holidays, etc.
Planning The Wedding, Together

Planning a wedding is a very stressful job and you might be of the opinion to delegate it to a planner or your friends/ relatives. Well, don’t. Take your wedding as the first project of you as a married couple and try to get your partner in it to define it.
Along with your partner, do the planning yourself. This time could teach you a lot about agreeing, adjusting or succumbing to each other’s demands. You’ll not only learn more about your partner during this time but it’ll also give you time to judge yourself as to how well you do when put in with another person (loved) in handling tough situations.
Some Time Alone
All is set now, and in no more than a month’s time, you’ll be entering into a new phase of your life .Take this leftover time of yours and spend it alone, or if you want with your few nearest friends. Go shopping, go hiking, take a bike ride, go backpacking. This is very important.
This lone time will provide you with a lot of foods for thought as to what are your expected outcomes from the marriage. You might not realize but getting some lone time before marriage can put you in with a lot of ponderings and a great lot of contemplations. Use these to better define your upcoming life.
