Frequently Asked Questions

Is cold feet normal?
Nervousness about the magnitude of the commitment is normal. Nervousness about the character of the person is a red flag. If your gut is saying "I don't feel safe" or "I don't trust them," do not override it with wedding plannng pressure.
What if we already live together?
Cohabitation often creates "sliding, not deciding" momentum. You might stay because it's convenient, not because it's right. If you are spotting patterns of disrespect now, marriage will not fix them—it will lock them in.
How do I bring this up without a fight?
Use the "Write the Letter" exercise. It allows you to articulate your fears and needs without interruption. If your partner cannot handle a written, honest expression of your needs before marriage, they will not be able to handle the complexity of life after marriage.
