We had our 1st Marriage Preparation Workshop today after the seminar a month ago. There'll be another workshop in Jan 07 and we'll also have a pre-marriage counselling session with a pastor.
There were 5 couples in the workshop and we learnt some principles from the Bible about marriage and the relationship between the husband, the wife and Jesus, we played some games and we learnt about the 5 languages of love that mattered most to Calvin & I.
The church leaders (a couple married for 6 years & now expecting their 1st baby) also shared a lot of their experiences with us. Through this workshop, Calvin & I realised how seldom we pray together. Prayers changes things and we should start praying together and start drawing closer to God as a couple.
Father God, draw us closer to You as we draw closer to each other as a couple. May Your love guide us through this period of planning for the flat & the wedding. May Your provision lead us to a state of "I shall not want".
My God shall supply all our needs according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus.
