SERVICES: Pre-Marriage
Pre-Marital Counseling
Pre-Marriage counseling will help you prepare for a successful marriage.
Counseling will help to preserve the beauty of your love relationship. The
topics listed below are important to discuss in therapy so that after the
wedding day you and your spouse have covered many of the topics you will
experience in married life together.
The role of counseling is to help you learn about each other beyond what
you have acquired in your interactions since the beginning of your relationship.
In the counseling process I will create a safe environment to allow new
information to be life giving to the relationship.
Therapy topics include:
• Joining-How this relationship was formed
• Spiritual Journey’s
• Communication
• Expectations for Marriage
• Models of Good Marriage
• Relationships with In-Laws
• Family of Origin Backgrounds
• Finances
