Wait, Pre-Parental Counseling?!
Actually, it makes perfect sense! If we encourage couples to prepare for marriage through premarital counseling, why don't we prepare for parenthood in the same way? Our babies might not come with an instruction manual, but this workbook is the next best thing. It's not about childbirth or sleep training; it's about you and your spouse exploring and discussing essential spiritual principles before your baby arrives.
In the pages of this workbook, you and your spouse will:
- Explore what it means to embrace parenting as a blessing rather than a burden
- Discuss how to prioritize and protect a strong marriage
- Work together to create a family vision and rhythms that strengthen your home
- Identify ways to build a trusted village of family, friends, and mentors
- And much more!
Why is this so important? The first three years of a child's life are the most formative, yet many parents only consider these important principles after that critical time has passed. Take the time now to build a strong foundation for your family, before your precious little one arrives!
