As an Authorised Marriage Celebrant in Australia, I am obliged to provide you with the “Happily Ever… Before and After” pamphlet - information provided to marrying couples related to maintaining a healthy marriage, the legal process, changing your name and some other brief information.

Please access it and have a look here.

Beyond this, I encourage you at this exciting time to dig a little deeper on your relationship and discuss what is important to each of you. How do you communicate? How do you manage conflict? How can you look after each other’s feelings whilst being free to express your own? These conversations can bring you closer together and deepen intimacy, love and connection as you embark on this next chapter together - and what better time to invest in your relationship.

Relationships Australia NSW have some incredible online resources which can help inspire and guide these conversations, from simple quizzes to 8-week courses and workshops. If you’re interested, check it out: https://www.relationshipsnsw.org.au

My other go-to source of information is The Gottman Institute - an absolute treasure trove of evidence-based tools and research all about how to foster healthy and balanced relationships. Check it out: https://www.gottman.com/couples/
