Serious doubts before marriage deserve investigation, not shame. Learn how to distinguish normal fear from evidence that the relationship may be wrong for marriage.
Love and doubt can exist in the same relationship.
That does not make you disloyal.
Marriage is a large decision. Some uncertainty is normal.
The question is what the doubt is made of.

"I am nervous about change" is different from "We want different lives."
