Marriage Prep 4: Adjustments

So the fourth session of marriage prep was about adjustments and it was quite fun! I haven't written about it for a few reasons and none that I feel I can go into publicly.

Anyway, some of the highlights are:

- We met another family that goes to our parish and learned about their lives, marriage and children.

- We played the "Nearly Wed" game and every couple did quite well making the 8 couples' engagements look sound.

- The winners (not us) were rewarded with a cake-cutting ceremony and pictures of the event. It was quite cute.

- The topic asked us to discuss how we see our lives changing and what we will expect from each other on a daily basis from who does what to help out around the house to how we'd like to see holidays planned.

It is surprising to realize that we are halfway through and only have three more sessions left. We still have to take the FOCCUS test but I'm not really worried about running out of time. So, I'll update on what goes on this evening for #5.
