Begin your life on a solid foundation
You've secured the venue, bought your dress, and booked the band. You're feeling great about the wedding, but now it's time to invest in your marriage.
Marriage can be the most wonderful thing in the world, but without a solid foundation, it can become a source of frustration and pain. Premarital counseling will give you the foundation you need for a lifetime of happiness together.
Research has shown that premarital counseling is most effective when conducted over the course of 6-8 sessions. However, you will work with your therapist to decide what is right for you.
(Most couples do theirs over a 6 week period, but some decide to double up on sessions in order to finish in 3 weeks. Don't let a time crunch stop you from getting the strong start your marriage needs.)
Some of the areas you will cover are personality differences, unspoken expectations, relationship dynamics, in-laws, finances, intimacy, communication and conflict resolution, and spirituality.
​
Your first session along with a full relational assessment (which you will complete separately online) is $150. This first session lasts about an hour and 15 minutes.
Subsequent sessions are $120 and last an hour each.
The answer is a definite"Yes!"
Over 2 million couples will get married this year, but only half of these marriages will actually make it. Decades of research has shown that premarital counseling increases happiness and relationship satisfaction long term. By doing premarital therapy, you will uncover each other's underlying expectations, learn tools for better communication, and really plan out your life together.
Unlike those reception centerpieces, premarital counseling give you a return on your investment for years to come.
There is no better investment in your future than this.
