Pre-Marital Counseling
Positive Outcomes
Premarital counseling will help you learn how to be a better listener, and how to make your voice and needs heard in a productive and positive manner.
Premarital counseling also teaches you how to handle conflict effectively. Living together inevitably brings arguments, from minor to serious. Learn to de-escalate and fight fairly, preventing lasting emotional harm.
In pre-marital counseling, we will likely bring up topics that you’ve discussed with your partner previously, as well as subjects you hadn’t considered before. The fresh perspective from an objective third party will uncover unexpected areas where you disagree, and give you the tools to handle possible future conflict.
Getting married is one of life’s most treasured experiences. Premarital counseling can help you and your partner turn that momentous occasion into a loving, lasting relationship. For guidance and support to strengthen your future marriage, contact us today and schedule an appointment.

Why Consider Counseling?
Are you a newlywed? Did you just get engaged? Are you and your partner looking to take your relationship to the next level?
When you’re considering marriage, deciding on your honeymoon or figuring out where you want to live are among the first things you start to plan. Premarital counseling might be last on your list, if it’s there at all. While it’s not normally an engagement topic, premarital counseling can set your marriage up to succeed and survive long-term.
Premarital counseling can help you and your significant other improve your relationship by helping you develop better communication skills, learn conflict management, uncover your shared core values as well as identify differences that could create future conflict. Working with a therapist, you can discuss expectations with your partner that will help better prepare both of you for marriage.
