Choosing a mate that will stay forever!

Choosing a mate that will stay forever.   "We have arrived Houston".

Finally we have come to a place where couples are deciding they have a choice about their future and don't have to pray that their perfect soul mate will fall into their laps and whisk them off to "never never" land.  Choosing a mate, rather than hoping and praying someone will choose you for some requires adopting a new attitude.

The burden of knowing if this relationship will last forever and last forever happily is now much easier with pre-engagement counseling.  A current blog post, Pre-Engagement Counseling, A Way to Choose A Mate revels why churches in the south are now offering this upcoming method in choosing a mate.

Another revealing article, from the LA Times speaks clearly about the importance in knowing how deep the water is before you jump when choosing a mate for life.
