- Building physical and emotional intimacy
- Repairing trust
- Celebrating differences

- Managing finances
With a special section on the marriage vows and thoughtful meditations for the bride and groom, Preparing Your Heart for Marriage will help you grow in your relationship as a couple on your journey from “me” to “we.”
