It is sad when the wedding planning has taken precedence over the marriage "planning." Pray with this couple, teach them how to pray.LoieJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01977264499770654307noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27230593.post-80933714709680848042009-06-12T23:31:47.318-06:002009-06-12T23:31:47.318-06:00Unfortunately, one of the downsides of being in th...Unfortunately, one of the downsides of being in the boonies is that mental health care is hard to come by.

To continue with our wedding plans, I am asking you to have x# of visits with Dr. A [to whom you have spoken previously]." That's about the best I can think of.

If nothing has changed, I would thank them for coming and encourage them to find someone else.
