Premarital Counseling

Premarital counseling is one of the greatest investments you can make in your future. Marriage sets the stage for major life change. It is in essence the merging of two cultures (two separate belief systems and ways of being) to create a new home, which can be quite overwhelming to navigate alone. Psychologically speaking, the engagement period triggers a cascade of emotion from fear of repeating past mistakes and painful family of origin issues to the hope of a fresh start and excitement for the possibilities that lie ahead. Sifting through this paradox of emotion with a trained professional can bring a sense of clarity, calm and greater confidence to your relationship.

During our time together we will develop a roadmap for your future marriage by exploring the similarities and differences between you and your partner and potential pitfalls you may encounter. We will discuss role expectations and love languages and work together to strengthen communication and conflict resolution skills. This deep and meaningful dialogue of important relational topics will serve to equip you to maintain a strong and healthy connection and give you a better chance for a stable and satisfying marriage.
