Premarital Counseling
Don't just plan for the wedding, plan for the marriage.
Relationship counseling doesn’t need to begin only when there's persistent conflict, disconnection, or loss of intimacy or trust. Dating and engaged couples can invest in the health and satisfaction of their marriage before they walk down the aisle through premarital counseling.
As a certified Prepare/Enrich premarital and marriage counselor, I help couples explore their strength and growth areas and learn crucial relationship skills that will keep their relationship strong. Couples will develop a better and more loving understanding of each other, including their unique differences, and strengthen their bond through discussion around the following topic areas:
Communication skills
Conflict resolution
Personal stress
Sexual expectations
Marriage expectations
Relationship roles and household responsibilities
Financial management and priorities
Spiritual/religious beliefs
Cultural expectations
Leisure activities
Routines/habits
