04/13 Engaged Too Soon!
Quote From: needfaith2 My son will be married in summer of 2006 and I have fears that he and his future bride are not ready and need to do more "homework" before they marry. We do love my future daughter in law and her little girl as well. My son is 21 ...his future bride is 25. She is not divorced.
Dr. Phil has done many books and workbooks on saving your relationship,losing weight and various other topics. I would love to see Dr. Phil publish a book and workbook on the subject of engagement and try to include as many of the topics that a couple starting out should discuss..such as money, children, finances, work, religion, fighting fairly and anything else to improve improve their communication and increase the chances of a successful, long and happy marriage. Lists of warning signs, deal breakers anything helpful would be great.
Both my husband and I were divorced when we married 18 years ago...we are happily married and we want our children to be able to be married only once if at all possible. Please Dr. Phil consider writing some pre- nuptial books to help save marriages before they even start. Remeber that you do not have to support your children's decisions but you should support your children. We should be easiest on family and hardest on strangers but it never seems to work that way. Express your thoughts and concerns to your son but don't let it get in the way of your relationship. The last thing you want is to have bad blood between you at your son's wedding.
