PREMARITAL
BUILD A STRONG FOUNDATION
Be intentional about building a strong foundation for a successful marriage. Start now!
Who you marry is one of the most important decisions of your life. Marriage is not a fairy-tale dream.
Rather, it is a marathon. I strongly believe that virtually any two people in the world can make a marriage succeed if they have the right tools.
Premarital counseling is not only for engaged couples, but also for couples exploring the prospect of a long-term relationship together.
We offer premarital counseling in a six-session format. Each session will last approximately fifty minutes.
Topics that will be covered include:
-
Expectations
-
Communication
-
Love
-
Honor and Respect
-
Anger
-
Conflict Resolution
-
Family of Origin
-
Roles and Positions
-
Decision Making
-
Sexuality
-
Money
-
Extended Family
Each couple will also take a Myers-Briggs Type Inventory (MBTI). This assessment does not “test” the couple’s relationship. On the other hand, it explores what makes each individual the way he/she is.
Premarital counseling is typically completed over the course of four to six one-hour sessions. If the counselor or couple thinks it is necessary for additional sessions, arrangements can be made at that time.
