[Conskeeted7]

We had pre-marital couseling. It was not required and was headed by the minister who married us. It was helpful. We discussed practical issues from a spiritual standpoint.

Pros...talking about something other than the wedding. Wedding planning can get overwhelmind and sometimes it can be a relief to talk about another segment of the picture.

Cons...Each relationship is different and their is no magic formula. So, some things our minister said were completely ignored by us because it didn't fit the way we didn things in our lives. However, if we had been more impressionable, we might have tried to do things the way he was saying instead of what we already were doing that worked.
