on 6/11/2007 There is a dirty little secret about weddings that virtually nobody talks about and everyone should know. Weddings are stressful, stress leads to fighting, and fighting leads to doubts, fear and worry. If this describes your relationship, rest in assurance that you are not alone. There are many couples out there that fear that fighting means that they are not right for each other. Certainly, this is something to consider if the fights are about major issues such as children, religious beliefs and where to live. Many couples go through the bickering stage during the pre-wedding stage. For some people, pre-marital counseling is a good option. This step doesn't?t mean your relationship is falling apart, and for many couples it can reaffirm their commitment to the relationship. Another important benefit is that you will find you can develop important communication skills that you may have been able to get by without in the past.

If you choose to press on, just take some time to think about the reason you said yes to that person, or the reason you proposed. Sometimes the best way to reignite the spark in a relationship is to do something romantic. Sure, you might not feel like it, but going through the motions should eventually get you in the mood for romance. Just set the stage and allow yourself to open up to the reasons you love the other person. You have come this far with them, after all, there must be some reason.

If you are on each others back all the time, it might not mean you aren't?t right for each other, it may just mean you are stressed and nervous. And remember, you are not alone. There are a lot of other people who feel like you do.

on 11/22/2005 I started getting the wedding jitters. They manifested in dreams of me being with other men. I woke up and thought I would never have the first date butterflies, and this was it. I forgot how lucky I was. Reflect on why you fell in love with him (or her), and although there will be no more "first dates," think of all the firsts you'll have being married. Honeymoons, traveling, children, graduation, etc.

I realized that I had to stop taking the fact that I had a great man in my life for granted. I had to remember how many people I dated and hated. I had to remember what it was like wondering when my prince charming would come, and if there was somebody out there for me. There is life after marriage. As far as those first date butterflies, we still go out to nice dinners and talk about "new" topics instead of the day-to-day routine.

on 11/22/2005 My "better half" did not start going out until we were engaged. I mean, REALLY going out -- every other night. I think men are afraid of being confined too much. A "loss of freedom" thing. We came to an agreement: One night a week is his to roam.
