Does it really matter how people begin marriage? YES!! How you start a marriage sets you on a path that you will continue to follow through your marriage (unless some huge event changes it). The routines you begin will set the patterns for how you handle things in the future, so it's important to start out your marriage right. This means that you must have a lot of communication, make decisions together, take time for each other, keep and eternal perspective, and continually build your relationship through experience and change. I think the most important part of this is communication: you must be willing and able to talk things through and discuss what works or doesn't work for each person in the relationship. Starting out on a solid basis makes the marriage more stable throughout. As Michael Williams said in class, "Wise couples anticipate and work with these (marriage problems) early on." Follow his advice, and do all you can to start off your marriage right.
