Premarital Counseling

A lot of times in our culture, the concepts of marriage and wedding are misunderstood. Wedding are those events that last just one day and cost a lot of money. A marriage lasts beyond that day and hopefully for the rest of our lives. Premarital counseling is one of the best investments that couples can make in their future. While the return on your investment in your wedding day will quickly fade, the investment you make in premarital counseling can last a lifetime.

Premarital counseling is akin to preventative medicine. The honeymoon eventually fades for all couples and premarital counseling can help you have the necessary tools to deal with difficulties when they arise. In premarital counseling, I teach couples concrete skills to deepen connection and improve communication. I'll guide you through conversations about some of the major topics that most couples struggle with sometime in their relationship. These include topics such as money & finances, work & career, sex & intimacy, families of origin, parenting, religion/spirituality/philosophy, and long-term goals.

Premarital counseling not only prepares couples for their life together, but can also help couples affirm that they are making the right decision in getting married. I encourage all couples who are preparing for marriage to commit to six to ten sessions of premarital counseling.
