Registration: BGF Marriage Education Program (7 Jun - 8 Jun 2014)
Many couples feel they are taking a big step in their lives when they decide to exchange vows of commitment to each other ‘till death do us part.’ It is not easy for two persons of different personalities, up-bringing, religion and sometimes different ethnic groups to live together for a long time to come, for better or for worse.
Often couples get into marriage without much preparation or skills to handle social, emotional or financial matters. They are ill equipped on resolving conflicts and also lack skills on parenting, budgeting, planning, preparing meals, or nursing sick family members. Usually such knowledge is picked up from external sources - friends, other adults or from media sources.
When we want to take up a career, we learn the tools and the rules first. How is it that for such an important event as marriage, not much preparation is put into it? Is it any wonder then that divorce rates in Malaysia and most countries are increasing?
