Summary

Wedding season has officially begun! I’ve been invited to four weddings in the last three weeks and my social media channels have been flooded with all wedding pictures. Weddings mark the beginning of your relationship but it’s very easy to get caught up in all the festivities and forget to focus on your actual marriage. The truth is, we all want to have a marriage more beautiful than our wedding, but our investment is in the wrong place. Remember this: it's better to have a small wedding and a big marriage, than a big wedding and a small marriage. On this episode of On Purpose, I give you 5 ways to prepare for a marriage and not just a wedding, even if you’re already married.

I've only made it to one because of my travel schedule, but we're in wedding season and I've heard so

many different things from so many different people, some people don't like weddings, some people

absolutely love weddings, some people hate weddings. I'm someone that when it's someone that's close

1:08.1

to me, when it's someone that's really special to me, those weddings are really, really powerful and
