Emotionally Engaged Pregnancy

Another nice note from a (former) bride, who was married last spring:

Hi Allison,

I have some big news - I'm about 13 weeks pregnant!

My husband and I have been talking about your book a lot recently, particularly right after we found out. 

We talked mostly about the part where it says that it's okay to be happy, excited and confident that the next step is going to be a good one, but still sad to leave the current stage.  

I hadn't thought about it that way so it made me feel a little less guilty about not feeling completely excited 100% of the time.

Funny how easy it is to forget that it's okay to have more than one emotion at the same time.

So thank you - even though it isn't your book's target life change, it was still very helpful!

I'm delighted to hear about this pregnancy.  And delighted, too, that the emotional skills that this couple learned while reading my book during their engagement -- of embracing the complexity of life, of tolerating having 2 contradicting emotions at the same time -- have helped ease this transition, too.

This is exactly what I mean when I say that bridal counseling can be life-changing: it offers a whole new perspective on life.

Congratulations to this couple on this exciting -- and scary and sad and and and -- news.

Want to learn these same emotional skills and be prepared for your wedding, marriage and all that life brings?
