7 Ways To Make or BREAK Your Engagement Season
Engagement season is beautiful and exciting and romantic… but it can also be chaotic, stressful, and honestly? A little dramatic. 😂 In this episode, Kaleb (aka “the love doctor” apparently lol) and I share 7 things to avoid during your engagement season if you actually want it to be healthy and fun. We talk about everything from not getting consumed by wedding planning, to still asking hard questions, to handling in-laws, budgets, bridal parties, outside opinions, and yes… setting physical boundaries. We also get super real about how engagement can bring up conflict you’ve never experienced before — and why that’s actually normal. There is spiritual warfare, there is pressure, there are a LOT of opinions flying around. But at the end of the day, your focus has to be on preparing for a marriage, not just planning a wedding. Whether you're newly engaged, about to get engaged, or just dreaming about that season one day — this episode is full of practical wisdom, grace, and hard truths we wish someone had told us.
