Premarital Preparation - Are You Ready for Marriage?

Let me guess. The wedding preparation is about to do you in. Nope, I'm no genuis....just heard it more times than I can remember. There's a zillion details to planning your wedding. You had no idea!  

It makes you want to chuck it all and just go get married. Sometimes couples tell me that in all the wedding planning hassels, they had forgotton themselves what it was all about.  

It's the MARRIAGE! The wedding is just a shin-dig (that's how we talk here in Tennessee) to celebrate the MARRIAGE.

Now I think the wedding is very important. It's a happy time (we hope) and most people want to share that with others.

But gosh, it can be hard to keep things in balance.

Getting ready for the wedding and getting ready for the marriage are two different things, right!

And there's loads of information about preparing for the wedding, but what about the marriage?

The good news is that there's more and more stuff for marriage preparation too. 

Well, ok I'm especially excited about something I've put together to help couples get a great start on their marriages. It's unique and fun. Even guys like it!

I call it the At-Home Marriage Preparation Course.

It's a do-it-yourself online premarital preparation course.

Couples from all over the world are now using this marriage course.

My name is Ralph Griggs, and I'm a nondenominational minister & Marriage Educator living in Nashville, Tennessee. I've helped alot of couples with their wedding ceremonies, but I really wanted to do more to help them with their marriages.

It puts me on cloud nine to hear from so many couples from all over who say they really enjoy the Course and find it helpful.

In this lens, I'd like to tell you more about premarital counseling and some of what is in my Course.

Pear Shaped Engagement Rings
Don't want to be just like everybody else? More couples are now choosing this special ring shape to stand out from the crowd. Such as? Well, actress Katherine Heigl chose a 3-carat pear shaped engagement ring. (a special touch is that a portion of the platinum in the band was from her mother's engagement ring).
Asscher Cut Engagement Rings
Kate Hudson and Reese Witherspoon are two well-known brides who've discovered how special these rings are. And they made an "appearance" on the TV sit-com Sex and the City. With this kind of exposure, these rings are creating a stir and now are a bit easier to find than they used to be.
Antique Style Engagement Rings
The old wedding traditions and look of things is still very appealing. If that's you, you might like to look at some antique style wedding rings. Not old rings, but newly manufactured antique looking rings.
Round Cut Diamond Engagement Rings
Round cut diamond engagement rings these days have something like fifty eight "facets." These facets work like tiny mirrors reflecting light. The more facets, the more light is reflected and therefore greater sparkle. That why the round cut engagement ring is also called the brilliant cut.
Marquise Diamond Engagement Rings
This ring is all about nobility and sophistication. It goes beyond the traditional round-stone shapes to an oval, narrow look with pointed ends. Someone has compared it to a football. Just envision a football upright on a kicking tee. Maybe that'll get "his" attention!
