Before You Say “I Do”

If you’re reading this, you’re likely engaged to be married or seriously considering it… congratulations! Our goal for you is that you have a wonderful marriage filled with joy and enough love to last a lifetime.

A happy marriage is one of life's greatest treasures. Too many couples spend a great deal of time preparing for the wedding while only dreaming about the marriage. Whom you choose to marry is the most important decision you will ever make. When making a huge investment in another person, both emotionally and financially, it is most important to spend intentional time preparing for a successful marriage.

The reality is that love is not self-sustaining.

The bad news is 50 percent of marriages end in divorce and only 25 percent of those who stay married report being in a happy and fulfilling relationship. The good news is, there is something you can do about it! Seriously engaging in Premarital Counseling increases your chances of staying married by 31 percent.

Premarital counseling is designed for couples who are engaged to be married, or who are dating and considering marriage together.

The goal of our premarital sessions is to:

Help a couple dispel the myths they believe about marriage and set realistic expectations
Increase understanding of relationship dynamics, individual roles, and how each other’s personalities and histories will affect the marriage
Learn how to handle conflict in a productive, loving, and healthy way
Learn how to continue growing their love and commitment to each other

In order to set you up for the best chance at marital success, we utilize a program intended to cut to the heart of the matter and get you and your future spouse talking about the topics that truly matter. Communication is key. After an initial “get to know you” session, each session will focus on a different aspect of the marriage relationship including: expectations, individual roles, family histories, finances, family, friends, deal breakers, communication, conflict, and sex.
