Two things I try to help pre marriage couples with are... realistic expectations (Time, money, sex, roles, where do we go for Christmas, wider family etc) Tools for dealing with conflict. We all probably feel like things wont change much in this area, but they do. That is a great post.

I'm astounded by the amount of people who only prepare, think about and talk about their wedding day. It's almost like they're completely unaware that once the day's over they're stuck with each other. :) Pauline and I wanted a great celebration on the day but the main thing we were looking forward to was doing life together. We had a very modest wedding and in 9 days we'll be celebrating 15 years of married life. On of my radio co-presenters knows two couples who spent huge amounts on their fairy tale weddings and both of them had split up within months of the 'big day'.
