Are you engaged and feeling nervous about getting married? Wondering if your doubts mean something is wrong?

In this episode of How's Married Life?, sisters Bracha & Peninah sit down with Kallah teacher & intimacy counselor Gabrielle Hodes to talk honestly about one of the most common and least talked about parts of engagement: cold feet.

Together, they discuss:

• Why so many people experience doubts before the wedding

• The difference between normal anxiety and genuine red flags

• Why engagement can feel so much more stressful than dating

• How wedding planning can make couples feel disconnected

• Practical ways to reconnect and enjoy your engagement

If you're dating, engaged, or supporting someone this conversation is for you! Because preparing for marriage isn't just about planning a wedding. It's about building a strong, healthy relationship together.
