Religion and premarital education
Not religious? Don't worry we don't want to convert you!
But religion is an important factor in how likely you are to divorce. Religious people are about 15% less likely to divorce, in part because they are less likely to support divorce, in part because they can turn to their faith for support, and in part because they are more likely to do marriage education before getting married.
Importantly, churches often are the strongest supporters of pre marriage courses. That is a good thing, but at least one study we found has shown that people who aren't religious often avoid premarriage counselling because they identify the courses with the church.
Couples who are joinging their lives need to know that there are plenty of options for premarriage training that are not religious. CouplesQuestions will be one of them (in about a week!) and any professional marriage and family counsellor would also count.
When two people are getting married they are bringing together their hopes, possessions and families. They also must fully discover what their partner thinks and feels about important issues which can not only take time and effort, but which might lead to conflict with ones own beliefs. Pre-marriage education, whether religous or something like our site, can give a couple the tools to get the wonderful long term relationship they deserve by helping them to understand each other better and by stopping arguments before they start.
You have options as you prepare for your marriage; find one that is going to meet your needs.
Happy Couples, Happy Planet!
