• Preparing now for your marriage relationship.
• The role of the wife has been transformed and this impacts expectations of marriage.
• Unrealistic expectations directly impacts happiness.
• In every marriage, there will be many unreconcilable differences. 
• Notice your expectations about marriage. 
• It is important that those differences don’t turn into gridlock (fighting or withdrawing). 
• About being mevater (relinquish needs/ wants) in marriage. Dos and don’ts. 
• How you handle the problems is more important than what the problems are. 
• There really isn’t a perfect person out there who can fulfill all your needs. 
• Strengthening the tools and mindsets for your marriage. 
• Commitment is integral for marriage to feel safe enough to be vulnerable. 
• You are two parts of one whole. What to do for your husband. 
• Q: What can we do in the time before marriage to develop these skills?
