Are Parents Seeking Intimate Premarital Financial Guidance For Newlyweds?

I was reading a news story the other day on the internet where it question if it was a circus or a wedding. One of the statements that stood out to me in Mom: Holy Matrimony! Is it a Circus or a Wedding? It said, "Sadly we're not giving young couples the tools they really need - relationship guidance and basic life skills to construct a durable marriage. Faithful consumers that we are, we assume that endowing newlyweds with stuff from an upscale bridal registry will ensure a happy union. We throw them a huge party and hope for the best. Then we wring our hands because so many couples break up before their new washing machines break down."

As a marriage financial advocate and counselor, that statement said to me that some parents are not seeking intimate premarital financial guidance for newlyweds. It almost seems as if once the union is in trouble, then they wish they had made sure the young couple had relationship guidance. Do not misunderstand because I know there are some couples that are saying we have attended premarital counseling all the while knowing they have not. They have some issues that need to be worked out yet they are masking. Masking means presenting one way when they are in public with family and friends and behind the scenes having some real challenges.

When it comes to are parents seeking intimate premarital financial guidance for newlyweds, I believe there are three types of parents that exist:

(1) You have the parents that did not have intimate premarital financial guidance and they had a difficult financial time throughout their marriage. Furthermore, they have decided they do not want it to be that difficult for their son or daughter. They are actively seeking premarital financial guidance that their newlyweds can do in an intimate setting. I applaud these parents because they are aware of the financial stress that can happen in marriage and want to prevent it if possible.

(2) The second type of parents is those that do not realize their newlyweds are married adults. They tend to overstep and are constantly talking to their son or daughter about what they should be doing with their finances. They want to know the ins and outs of their finances. They are seeking premarital financial guidance for the newlyweds but are almost adamant that they attend the session with the newlyweds, thereby making the newlyweds not want to go.

(3) The third type is parents who have done the research and know what type of intimate premarital financial guidance is available in their area. However, they do not want to seem pushy and recognize the newlyweds are adults. These parents more than likely would take the newlyweds to dinner and make a recommendation that the newlyweds have premarital financial guidance even though they are newly married.

Regardless of what premarital means, any time a couple reaches out for financial guidance as a unit, it is a great thing. This shows they want guidance in order to correct or prevent financial issues.

If you are a parent and seeking an intimate premarital financial guidance resource for your newlyweds, Dr. Wagner has created a financial education program couples can complete in the privacy and comfort of their own home.

A Brief History of Special Education

  Over the last 20+ years I have been on both sides of education. I have seen and felt what it was like to be a regular main stream educator dealing with special education policy, special education students and their specialized teachers. I have also been on the special education side trying to get regular education teachers to work more effectively with my special education students through modifying their instruction and materials and having a little more patience and empathy. Furthermore, I have been a mainstream regular education teacher who taught regular education inclusion classes trying to figure out how to best work with some new special education teacher in my class and his or her special education students as well. And, in contrast, I have been a special education inclusion teacher intruding on the territory of some regular education teachers with my special education students and the modifications I thought these teachers should implement. I can tell you first-hand that...
