Even before I got engaged, God has impressed upon my heart that it's not enough to prepare for my wedding day. I need to prepare more for my marriage because my wedding day is just the first day of the rest of my life with my spouse.
So, as a single lady still waiting for my bridegroom, I busied myself reading books to help me prepare to be the best wife and mother that I could be. I will be sharing in this blog also how my husband and I went through a marriage discernment process, the tools we used, and who helped us and guided us along the way.
Read this post (Marriage Preparation Seminars) to have a glimpse to our marriage preparation.

For now (since I just started this blog), let me share some of the books I read before I got married and right after our wedding. (I will be adding to this list in the next days when I have more time to go through my book collection.) Hope you'll find a copy of these wonderful books and take time to learn from them. I have been inspired and blessed by them. I hope you too would have the same experience.
