Before You Say I Do: Premarital Counselling for Christian Millennials and Gen-Z

Denise Seun Popoola is an experienced banking professional, a seasoned lawyer with a postgraduate degree in Law from the University of Wales, UK, and USA-certified marriage and family counsellor. She is a walking testament to the transformative power of commitment, grace and practical wisdom within a marriage. 

Her own 23-year journey with her husband, Adedamola, has been a crucible of learning, marked by both early struggles and profound growth. These experiences, coupled with her professional training, have ignited a deep passion within her to help couples, especially those standing at the threshold of "I do," build marriages that not only survive but truly flourish. 

This book is born from that very passion. It is not simply a collection of theories, it is a distillation of the hard-won lessons Denise has learned, both personally and through counselling countless couples. She openly shares the practical, daily tips and strategies that helped her navigate her own marital challenges, the very tools that turned her marriage around and inspired her to dedicate her life to helping others do the same to get marriage right. 

These are the insights she wishes she had possessed at the beginning of her journey, the wisdom she now offers to minimise the common pitfalls that can derail even the most well-intentioned couples. From premarital preparation to navigating the complexities of long-term commitment, Denise offers a roadmap for building a God-centred marriage, a marriage that is not only strong and resilient but also a source of deep joy and fulfilment.

She believes that every couple deserves the chance to experience a "happily ever after" that is rooted in faith, understanding, and a commitment to lifelong growth.
