Summary

In this free edition of Jung Love, our subscriber bonus content, a Patron asks:


"My fiancé and I have known each other since we were 17. Neither one of us has really ever dated anyone else. We're both 29 now and due to be married in October. I love him, and he's my best friend, but I find as our wedding date gets closer, I'm having second thoughts.


I'm about to commit myself to never being with anyone else ever again, and I can't help wondering what I might be missing. Should I go forward with the marriage despite my worries?"


Support This Jungian Life on Patreon and ask Lisa, Deb, and Joseph your questions for a chance to have them answered on Jung Love.
