	Preparing Yourself for Marriage
	Fall in love all over again
	by Villa Baragha

	It’s your big day – the biggest day of your life, in fact … your heart is beating
	just that bit faster, your cheeks are glowing, you breathe deeply, your guests
	are cheering, you wipe away a few tears of joy, you are laughing, you
	dream of a happy future …this is your wedding!

	Since the time when you were a little girl and first twirled your skirt in a
	breeze, you have been dreaming of your knight in shining armour and this,
	your loveliest day. Every bride plans for this moment all her life.

	Once you have made your vows, there is all the excitement of the
	honeymoon to enjoy. But a few months later all that is left of all the fanfare
	is memories tucked into a photo album gathering dust on the coffee table.
	The wedding is just the start of two lives becoming one.

	The knight’s shining armour begins to tarnish. All those kilograms you lost
	start to creep back. A baby is on the way and your mother-in-law has
	become a monster overnight. Does this sound familiar?

	Thousands of couples get married every year. The bad is news is that
	divorce figures have risen sharply – statistics show that 4 out of every 5
	couples get divorced.

	It is vital that couples discover and get to know each other properly before
	they get married. Humans are complicated, interesting beings and every
	day is a challenge.

	Nexus focuses on assisting aspiring couples and newlyweds in this
	exploration of each other and offers them an opportunity to undertake a
	delightful journey of discovery. We look carefully at every aspect of marriage
	– from the in-laws to the bedroom! Every individual personality is evaluated
	fully and mutual respect is developed.






	The building blocks of the marriage are strengthened with the assistance of
	communication workshops that ensure that the flame will stay alight and
	that the two people in the marriage do not become lonely. Each individual
	person’s needs are looked at and couples get an opportunity to share their
	deepest secrets in a comfortable atmosphere.

	We teach couples to argue constructively and deal with conflict in a positive
	way. Our frame of reference is not just psychological, but also spiritual.

	We give back meaning to your marriage vows. Couples fall in love again,
	can forgive each other and give each other space and grace, and learn to
	deal with conflict effectively. Strong ties are established and real unity is
	achieved.

	All our sessions are individual and problems are discussed over a soothing
	cup of tea. It is important for every person to discover and get to know him-
	or herself. True happiness is not your partner’s responsibility, but your own.
	We help people to get to know themselves and to learn to laugh about all
	their faults. We identify the pitfalls that create conflict and give couples
	simple practical guidelines that help to ensure their marital happiness.

	Statistics prove that a marriage is hard work and that a happy marriage is
	not something that just happens spontaneously and for ever. We help
	couples to set objectives and boundaries within the marriage and suggest
	team work exercises for them to try. We help couples to become a team that
	can face challenges and crises together.

	Come and relax and experience a sense of euphoria and peace in our
	Wellness Centre with its affordable packages. Stay overnight in our luxury
	rooms and enjoy spa treatments for two in our lovely gardens. Conclude the
	session with a twilight ride on horseback and a romantic picnic. Find each
	other again and prevent your marriage from heading toward divorce – this
	may be your most valuable investment ever!
