What Advice Would You Give Engaged Couples?
Enamored couples tend to take special care of their appearance and show good behavior in the dating and courtship phase
Adolescence seemed like it took forever to get through. I think it was that way for most people who started dating. Then we get a bit older and start looking for the “one”. Sometimes it comes soon, sometimes not, but when it comes, it is no small event.
We dream of wedding dresses, flowers, rings, and honeymoons. We spend money and time on planning elaborate events to celebrate with friends and family. That’s why it is such a fun time.
What advice should we give couples in this short chapter of their lives? Firstly, I would encourage them to enjoy the time of planning and preparing which passes too quickly. Try not to overwhelm yourselves with everything there is to do. The wedding date will come whether you’re stressed or at peace. Focus on keeping yourselves worthy to enter the temple. Temptations will come before making such an important covenant.
The first little while after marriage is wonderful. It is a time of getting to know one another at a deeper level. It is called the honeymoon phase because everything is sunshine, rainbows, and flowers.
