Preparing for a lifetime

Finally I am writing my first post! We have been engaged since November 2011 and have been busy preparing for the wedding and too bad I never get the chance to document the first few months. :(  Still, I am so happy that this will be the first post I will make as this is really helpful not only for Noel & I but to all the couples whether soon-to-wed or married couples already. All the hunt and the preps is so exciting.. and what we didn't expect is that attending this Pre-Marriage Seminar will heighten the excitement all the more!!! :)) 

This is just the first part.

Lesson 1: LEAVE

When you marry, leave your parents for your spouse in order to become physically, financially, emotionally, and spiritually independent.

Should I say more on this one?

Lesson 2: COMMUNICATION and ROLES & RESPONSIBILITIES
Ironically, in spite of all the communication tools and advanced technology around us couples still fail to communicate. Most even believe that being together or on BB, Twitter or Facebook 24 hours with your partner strengthens the bond. This includes Noel & I of course.. But when you realize the real meaning of 'communication' then everything else changes. : )) And guess what? Through communication, we realized that this also helps us realize each others roles and responsibilities. :)

Lesson 3: HANDLING FINANCES, Budgeting & Victory over debt
Oh, how we love this lesson! We were so excited about this one that on our way home we are already talking about our finances and how we should handle it with the grace of God. :)) 

We will have the last leg next week. Yehey!!

Our home church here in Dubai, Victory, has helped us greatly in both of our spiritual and personal lives. After having this seminar we appreciated more having this opportunity to have a long wedding preparation. :)) And still enjoying it.. ;)
