The necessity for preparation and training to enable a task to be done
well has probably never been better understood than at this time, the
start of the 21st. century. And parallel to this is the expectation that
if I do the task well I will get satisfaction and also my efforts will
be appreciated. And such expectations are fully justified.
One of the most important, and at times most difficult task undertaken
by individual men and women is that of marrying and living with the person
they love and for the vast majority of couples this includes having children
and raising a family.
And yet little or no time is given to prepare ourselves for one of the
most formidable challenges we will ever meet.
A little time taken out of our busy schedule of life can pay handsome
dividends. Research has shown that "marital happiness contributes
far more to global happiness than any other, including satisfaction with
work and friendship" (Janice Kiecolt-Glaser and Tamara Newton, 2001,
US Researchers on Marriage and Health). There are courses available all
over Ireland but perhaps you find their scheduled times unsuitable ? Have
you left it too late to enrol? Have you special needs you wish to discuss
privately? Or are you having doubts about your decision or timing to marry?
If so, a customised course to suit your needs and your availability is
accessible to you.
Topics which you may wish to discuss and reflect upon include:
Communication, Commitment, Understanding our Needs, Budgeting, Conflict
Resolution, Human Sexual Response Cycle, Sexual Anatomy & Physiology,
Family Planning Methods, Respect and Love.
