Important marriage foundation

Briefly News had the pleasure of speaking with Faith Plaatjie, a marriage counsellor at a local church who expressed the importance of forming a good friendship foundation before tying the knot.

"A solid foundation is essential for a good marriage, but often, people overlook small details that eventually create cracks and lead to serious issues in their marriages.
Forming a friendship while still dating or marrying someone you've been friends with may not guarantee that your marriage will last forever, but it does give you an understanding of the person you are with and may assist the relationship when difficult situations arise.
This is simply because friendship builds trust between two people, builds an emotional connection, and teaches people patience."

The clip has SA hopeful

The couple's journey touched social media users, flooding the comments with admiration and heartfelt wishes. Many commended their commitment to blending their families, while others found inspiration for their search for a soulmate.
