Do you wonder if your wedding plans are a mistake? Have you considered premarital counseling?
A recent article in the NY Times delineates ways to help you think this out. You need to differentiate normal anxiety about getting married from danger signals that merit careful attention.
You may have a nagging feeling of knowing that this is the wrong person. People in this predicament who get married anyway, join the group with a higher divorce rate
So if you are a friend talking to a bride or groom who is feeling hesitance, take them seriously. Often people proceed too hastily with the marriage. Perhaps they have found no one who will listen to their concerns and help them weigh them. Instead with the societal pressure to finish the countdown. they have plunged ahead.
The article suggests that encouraging your friend or (even yourself) to write the issues down. Suggest he or she talk to someone or a therapist can head off a disaster. By doing so, you or your friend can clarify the difference between normal pre-wedding jitters or reasons significant enough to justify postponing the marriage. Premarital counseling can support this discernment.
