Enter the bridal couple ready to plan their wedding. There is excitement and anticipation. The bride is so happy and dreamy eyed she acts like she is floating on air. The groom, however, appears a bit less comfortable. He might even be described as nervous.

The groom hesitated, but finally spoke up, “I am just along for the ride.”

From early childhood, little girls dream of their fantasy wedding. They have dreamed for years about every detail of their magical event. On the other hand, boys seldom think about their wedding until it arrives. No wonder so many grooms feel a little uncomfortable about their wedding.

Weddings often involve great fanfare, intricate social events, and potentially uncomfortable situations for some people. Brides often seem to manage these events more easily that grooms. For many men relationships can be challenging. Unfortunately, due to the emotionally charged nature of these activities they can have lifelong impact.

How can the groom strengthen his marriage and thrive throughout the wedding?
