Marriage is often romanticized, but the reality is far more complex. Many couples enter marriage with little understanding of how to navigate conflicts, communicate effectively, or manage shared responsibilities. So, what kind of marriage education do we actually need?
First, we need practical tools—not just fluffy theories. Think conflict resolution skills, financial planning, and emotional intelligence training. Second, real talk about expectations. Too many people go into marriage with unrealistic ideals, only to face disappointment later. Finally, normalize ongoing education. Marriage isn’t a one-time event; it’s a journey that requires constant learning and adaptation.
What’s missing in today’s marriage education? Should it start earlier, like in schools? Or is it something couples should figure out on their own? Let’s discuss!
Too many that are missing and there is a flaw in the system because even if you have planned to get married, you'll never know what's coming to you as a couple. You will never know if your significant other has plans of divorcing you after you did some mistake. Despite that marriage is a long term commitment and for some it is a lifetime commitment, others play it out because of how easy it is to get divorced. Well, it will take a lot of effort and money for sure and maybe half of your wealth will be in there. So, aside from planning with all of those things, I think mentality and spiritually, both partners need to prepare themselves with however challenges come to you guys, you have each other's back.
