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!
If I may ask you, who do you think is an expert in marriage? I want to let you know that different people have different knowledge, idea and mentality of what marriage is all about or what marriage should be about. I can't allow someone to come teach me what is marriage when the person that is teaching doesn't have a peaceful home that is an improper fraction. You can not learn everything about marriage before you get married, but the little you know if you can hold on to it and you are discipline, tolerant, etc you will definitely do well, remember before getting married you are being told that marriage is not a bed of roses you should know what you are signing up for.
