Precana

Posted by scottsbride

We dont have to do pre-cana which Im super happy about.I keep hearing horror stories plus we are already legally married, live together and have a baby and I just feel like its a bit late for discussions on natural planning lol

---

The discussions aren't really about planning to have kids. It's more about learning to fair fight/argue, planning who will take care of the money situations, etc. Things that help (hopefully) to make a marriage work.

In our Pre-Cana... very, very little was religious/personal views based. But that also could have been because our 'teachers' were awesome.

I think Pre-Cana is all about what you put into it. If you go in rolling your eyes & expecting a horror show, you'll hate it. Remember, you're doing something to better your marriage and you should be excited about that.

Honestly, girls who are just starting PC, enjoy it. Go in with a positive attitude and enjoy the time with your fiance' & learning some possibly new things about each other.

That's great advice to follow in life. It's much easier to be positive!

my FH and I went to pre cana last month. we actually really enjoyed it. The first night was more of blessings for the couple and singing and readings. (almost like going to church.)

the second day was a full day of worksheets and discussion on things that may come up in our marriage. topics that should be discussed definitely before marriage. like children, dealing with different backgrounds (in ours it was even about different faiths because we attended the interfaith one since FH is not Catholic. But over all very enlightening!
