Premarital transitioning: Do you have to give up independence?

As I contemplate our nation’s independence today, I am reminded of the independence we find in loving relationships.  Premarital therapy helps a couple transition from life as one to life as part of two.  What many do not know is that the safety of knowing someone is there to support us in our personal quest is empowering, not restricting.  Where insecurity in a relationship may dissuade independence, love “lets freedom ring.”
