Cold Feet Before Your Wedding?

As you get closer and closer to your wedding day, you may begin to develop cold feet.  You may begin feeling nervous about becoming a good husband or wife.  When the nerves kick in, you may feel 'knots' in your stomach, or even have a few bad dreams.  Subconsciously something is making you nervous and you should really try to get to the root if it before your big day. Try to warm up those cold feet!

If the thought of being the center of attention is worrying you, try doing some relaxation and breathing exercises. Here's a tip: Ask your Wedding Officiant to provide you with a copy of your ceremony in advance, so that there will be no surprises and you can practice.  Schedule wedding rehearsal so that everyone can go over the entire days' schedule.  Remember the loved ones that you have invited are happy for you and are there to support you and share in your special day. Friends shouldn't make friends nervous. :)    

Are you nervous because you are about to become a step-parent?  True it's a huge responsibility and can be a challenge.  Hopefully everyone already gets along and the family dynamic and boundaries have already been established.  There should already be mutual respect between the parents and the children.  Remember this 'combined family' will affect the children too so be sure to include the children in the wedding planning process. Communication is key so if you are nervous, please voice this to your partner-to-be.

Are you anxious because you've been told that sex changes after marriage?  Well, it shouldn't change for the worse.  Sex should improve after marriage and the attraction become more intense, because you will be graduating from boyfriend and girlfriend to 'life partners'. You compliment each other. You are soulmates. Again communication is key so if  this is why you are nervous, talk to your partner.  

Here's a tip: Talk to your Pastor or Wedding Officiant to see if they offer pre-marital counseling or pre-marital mentoring. Marriage is a big step and forever is a long time, so it's important to know that you and your partner are on the same page. Don't ignore 'gut' feelings...address them...BEFORE your wedding day. Good luck!
