Make your own luck: Talk it over before you tie the knot

If that date appeals to you for your upcoming nuptials, you better move quickly as services and venues are rapidly getting booked. Wedding industry professionals - photographers, caterers, limo services, consultants - are all being snapped up as brides and grooms hope to take advantage of a little numerological (or is it astrological?) good fortune.

But, it has to be said that it take a great deal more than a few lucky numbers to make a wedding come off without a hitch. It takes planning, preparation, energy, attention and a sense of humour. That is also true with marriage. Luck and the stars aligning may have brought you to the love of your life, but building and maintaining a loving relationship for a lifetime takes that same planning, preparation, energy, attention and a sense of humour that went into your wedding...and of course a whole lot of love.

Preparing for your marriage, not just your wedding day can help you do that. Doing some kind of premarriage course or counselling, using a service like ours - CouplesQuestsions.com - will greatly improve your chances at having a successful marriage. You feel lucky, blessed even, to have found your partner. Now create some luck - your own luck - and prepare for a future of love, laughter and understanding together. Put a little effort into planning your marriage along with wedding!
