Premarital Counseling
Congratulations!
Planning for a wedding can be such an exciting time. But a great marriage takes work, and the best thing you can do is give it a strong foundation.
Investing in premarital counseling will offer returns on your marriage for years to come. It is the best wedding gift you can give to yourself and your future spouse.
Our therapist is certified through the Prepare-Enrich program. This program is designed for premarital and married couples who want to strengthen their relationship. Completing this program offers many benefits, including a discount on your marriage license and the ability to waive the 72-hour waiting period.
How does this work?
The prepare and enrich process is designed to look at several core areas of relationships, including:
Communication
Conflict resolution
Finances / Financial goals
Marital expectations
Relationship roles
Health & wellness
Personality differences
Children and parenting expectations
Spiritual beliefs / Relationship values
Family of origin dynamics
Sex and intimacy
This program works through a two-part process. First, you and your partner will take a short online assessment that usually takes 30 – 45 minutes. Then your therapist will review the results and create a plan to focus on the areas that are important for your relationship.
Next, your therapist will work with the two of you over the course of several sessions, focusing on your strengths and growth areas as a couple. The number of sessions you attend is completely up to you. It is recommended that you and your partner attend at least 3 sessions to review the assessment, but many couples choose to continue in order to address the full range of topics.
This process can be great for dating couples considering marriage and engaged couples headed down the aisle. But what if you are already married and want to learn new tools and deepen your relationship? This assessment can also be excellent for newly married, married, or remarried couples who want to improve their relationship.
