Premarital Counseling

Seeking counseling before marriage can alleviate stress and give couples a chance to talk about basic issues in the midst of all the excitement of an engagement. This can help couples to create a deeper connection and strengthen their sense of being a "team" on the many changes that marriage brings. I can help you and your significant other to open communication about the foundational pieces of a long term relationship, plan for a meaningful marriage, and gain a sense of confidence for your future.

 

Premarital Counseling can address many issues. Here are some common themes:

​

  • Communication

  • Beliefs and Values

  • Roles and Rituals

  • Intimacy

  • Family Planning

 

  • Children and Parenting

  • Family Relationships

  • Second Marriages and Blended families

  • Building a foundation

  • Understanding each other's needs

What are the benefits of Premarital Counseling?

 

We each bring our own values, opinions and history into marriage and they may not exactly match your partner's. Premarital counseling helps partners set realistic expectations, improve communication, and develop conflict-resolution skills. In addition, premarital counseling can help couples establish a strong foundation based on trust and openness. By discussing differences and expectations before marriage, you and your partner can better understand and support each other during marriage.

 

If marriage is in your future, premarital counseling can be a powerful step to take. If you'd like to get more information or are ready to schedule - contact me or visit my online scheduling page.
