"Anxiously Engaged"

There is all kinds of hope associated with a new relationship, especially a relationship between a couple engaged to be married. There is hope for children, employment, and perhaps a home of your own one day. The greatest amount of hope is invested in the relationship itself, a hope that it will last for eternity. And yet, while we invest so much time, effort, and money into the actual wedding day, how much effort is put towards understanding the marriage commitment? “Anxiously Engaged” is a curriculum developed by Dr. Alan Hawkins, professor of family life at Brigham Young University and a nationally recognized scholar on relationship education, and Kathryn Pond Sargent, who has a master’s degree in Family Sciences and has taught marriage preparation classes for engaged Latter-Day Saint couples for many years. Anxiously Engaged is a course directed towards engaged couples and will cover the “essentials” of preparing for and nurturing your marriage relationship. It is important that couples understand the necessity of being intentional about their ongoing efforts to maintain a healthy, vibrant relationship. The curriculum will help couples develop skills to intentionally facilitate a life-long process of becoming one.
