Dr. Greg and Erin Smalley share advice for couples getting ready to marry. Statistics show that the majority of Americans want a happy marriage, yet most spend less time preparing for the marriage than they do on the wedding ceremony. The Smalleys advise that engaged couples learn how to build a strong, healthy and godly marriage in premarital counseling. Issues they address include commitment, leaving and cleaving, honoring your spouse, communication, managing conflict and more.
