Premarital Therapy

Resolve differences before the service begins.

Sometimes love trumps everything as a couple considers a life together. However, they should realize that each partner brings a different perspective to the marriage, primarily based on their family background.

The two of you may have very different perspectives on having children or how to raise children. One may want a large family like their own family. The other may think it’s one and done or none.

Other potential conflicts involve dealing with each other’s family, deciding career goals, financial issues, and differences in the ability to communicate openly.

Sure, the anticipation of wedding bells is essential. Still, the two of you owe it to each other to start with an honest and open communication of your expectations, desires, and differences. Such frank conversations can make a big difference when challenges occur; this is where premarital therapy can help.

Premarital therapy helps form a lasting foundation.

Our goal in providing premarital therapy is to help couples build a viable relationship that will help them weather challenges that appear during the marriage.

Through counseling, we can help you identify differences that might become more serious unless the two of you first recognize these differences. We will discuss the best ways to communicate to avoid conflict.

In our sessions, we will discuss future challenges and how each of you views solutions to those challenges. Some of our discussions may pertain to how each of you sees your role in the marriage. Maintaining intimacy is another area that requires discussion up front.

Through premarital counseling, couples can learn how to strengthen their relationship early and avoid conflicts that can threaten a marriage.

Start early – and lay the proper foundation.

We understand that getting married at this relationship stage is your top priority. But at the same time, don’t take for granted the need to start early to establish your marriage on a sound foundation.

Establishing a foundation of trust, open communication, intimacy, teamwork, and a love that lasts through good and bad times requires preparation.

Let us help you build that foundation. We provide a safe space where the two of you can be honest and open as you start this new chapter in your life. There is no judgment here – only openness and support.
