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!
Marriage is regarded as an institution, hence the need for this kind of education cannot be overemphasized. Anyone who refuses to go through this process is heading for great fall along the way.
Early marriage to me is not an option. I believe (I may be wrong though) that young people don't have the experience or perhaps required mindset shaped by adequate knowledge to venture into marriage.
Take your time, learn what you can learn, be prepared for it before you enter.
