	BUILD YOUR MARRIAGE ON THE RIGHT FOUNDATIONS
	by Willa Combrinck

	Lewensverryking Seminare have been presenting seminars on marriage
	preparation since 1996 and the demand for these seminars increases with
	every passing year. Many couples who have already attended the seminar
	say that these seminars offer the best value for money ever; and their
	parents agree.

	Your SPECIAL day is drawing near and you are looking forward to it with
	bright eyes and much excitement. To be happily married is one of life’s
	greatest joys. However, it is important to be open-minded about your
	marriage. A lifetime of being together every day lies ahead of you. You
	must make room for different interests, views of life and temperaments, as
	well as for different notions about money and many other issues. There are
	no instant recipes for a long, happy marriage. It requires giving in and
	adapting – sometimes him, sometimes you. It needs hard work and
	commitment: you must COMMIT yourselves to making a success of your
	marriage. There are a variety of challenges; and the onslaught, from all
	directions, keeps you on your toes. If you don’t know what you are getting
	yourself into, when you come down to earth, it can be quite a shock.

	Do you have any idea with which preconceptions about marriage your
	future husband was brought up? What is his opinion on the roles of the
	husband and of the wife in the home? Does it harmonise with yours? If your
	views differ, have you talked about how you are going to deal with these





	differences? Do you know how his parents handle conflict? The chances
	are good that he will do things the same way. Can you get along with his
	friends, or are you going to have to stay at home when he goes out with
	them? Do you feel the same way about children and how they should be
	raised? How does he feel about pornography and cybersex?

	Life enrichment seminars give you insight into the things that can MAKE or
	BREAK a marriage.

	Be honest, the questions mentioned above are not something you want to
	think about now. You want to fantasise about how you will walk down the
	aisle, too beautiful for words, while you see ever-lasting love shining in
	your groom’s eyes. However, thorough preparation for married life is VITAL
	if you want to spend a lifetime together. You should consider booking a
	place in a marriage preparation seminar before you book the wedding
	venue, so as not to miss the bigger picture. The wedding lasts only a few
	hours, while your marriage needs to last for the rest of your lives. The
	presenters, Sors and Lida Geldenhuys and Deon van der Berg, have years
	of experience to share. The advertisement that accompanies this article
	provides details on our seminars. You are also welcome to visit our website.

	Lewensverryking Seminare offer seminars for couples, singles and
	teenagers. Contact our office for any further information. Tel: 012 546 8098
