In this episode, Matt & Jenn offer advice to couples who are not yet married, and to those of us who should be mentoring these premarital couples.

1. Choosing your spouse is one of the most important and consequential decisions one will make. The way that we are dating will play an important part of getting this right.
2. Premarital counseling, before and after engagement, is a crucially important investment in your future relationship.
3. To best assess a potential spouse you need to be aware of their character weaknesses, history of trauma, sexual history, family-of-origin dynamics, and financial situation.

We highly recommend these books for those who are of dating age:

• Not Yet Married by Marshall Segel
• Sacred Search by Gary Thomas

This book is a must read for engaged couples and those who may be counseling/mentoring these couples:

• Nine Essential Conversations Before You Say I Do by Gary Thomas

These books are helpful for preparing young people for the sexual relationship. These  are also great resources for anyone who wants to improve their understanding of sex and sexual desire.

• The Good Girl’s Guide to Great Sex by Sheila Gregoire
• The Good Guy’s Guide to Great Sex by Sheila & Keith Gregoire
