Premarital Education and Counseling
Preparing for marriage with premarital counseling is an excellent way to get ready for the work of a lifetime partnership!
Sessions are designed to be a meaningful experience to set the stage for a lifetime of healthy communication and growth together.
Couples typically meet for several sessions to explore strengths of the relationship and to discuss big topics that tend to come up in long-term relationships including beliefs and values, life goals and desires, stressors and changes that occur over a lifetime, and ways both practical aspects of life together and conflict are handled.
I am a certified facilitator for the Prepare/Enrich* Premarital and Marital Assessment Tool, which is well-researched resource that provides a framework for premarital counseling sessions. If you choose Prepare/Enrich, you can expect to receive a personalized resource booklet, discussions centered on recognition of strengths and building resilience in your relationship, and a certificate of completion that you can submit to your marriage officiant if required.
Your relationship is unique, so we will discuss what you would like your premarital counseling to look like and what would be most beneficial. Some newly-married couples also find the premarital counseling approach useful for insight and to further strengthen the relationship.
