Taylor has only got engaged!! That diamond could probably sort out quite a lot of problems for many of us – but in the meantime – back to Taylor and Travis – what should they expect as they enter this new period of their relationship as they go from dating to engagement.
Prioritize Communication
Communication is the foundation of any healthy relationship. It’s especially important during the engagement period. Amidst the pressure to plan the perfect wedding, make time to discuss your expectations, fears, and goals.
Embrace Compromise
Marriage requires compromise, so it’s important to learn how to find common ground with your partner. Practice finding solutions that work for both of you, even if it means giving up some of your own preferences..
Build A Strong Support System
The early days of an engagement can feel like you’re the only two people in the world. Over time, though, it will become clear that marriage requires a strong support system. Make sure you have trusted friends and family members who can offer you emotional support and practical help when needed.
Seek Premarital Counselling
Premarital counselling is an excellent way to prepare for the challenges of marriage. A trained counsellor can help you identify potential areas of conflict and provide you with tools to strengthen your relationship. There’s no better way to invest in the longevity of your marriage than to create a couple’s toolkit full of skills you can turn to when the going gets tough.
Running alongside that of course – keep creating amazing music!!
