Dear Parents of Engaged Couples,
I don’t know you so please don’t take this personally, but you might have already screwed up your kids’ marriage. You probably didn’t do it on purpose, but there’s a pretty good chance it happened.
Maybe you didn’t help her define and set clear boundaries.
Maybe your son has weird abandonment issues because he was always the last one picked up from baseball practice.
Maybe your issues with affection have become your kid’s issues with affection.
And because of this your kid’s marriage may (or may not) end up being really crappy. Don’t worry. I’m sure they’ll forgive you.
Why not try to mitigate some of the damage you’ve probably already done and sign your kid up for a premarital workshop, like Bliss? The workshop won’t fix them, but it will give them tons of insight into how communication could be healthier. Or why they twitch when they hear someone loading a dishwasher.
Ok, I’m not really going to explain why they’re twitching. But they should probably get that looked at.
But seriously, why not make premarital counseling a wedding gift? You’re probably spending tons of money on this shindig so help them invest in their marriage so that it lasts longer than that Kitchenaid mixer on their registry.
Love,
Your neighborhood premarital counselor
P.S. The Bliss Workshop is way cheaper than the Kitchenaid mixer. Help me help you…
