Some young couples are quick to get married, and that is not a bad thing. However, it is crucial to discuss your partner’s underlying concerns, long-term career and financial goals, and gender roles. By identifying the issues initially, you can ensure a strong bond that only couples who have received pre-marital counseling have.
