Premarital Counseling
Congratulations!
So you’ve decided to take the next step! Congratulations! The path you are about to embark upon is going to shape and change you in ways you never thought possible. And I am here to help you start out your journey on the right foot!
As you near the day of your wedding, it is easy to get caught up in the moment and lose sight of the commitment you have embarked upon. Premarital counseling is an invaluable opportunity not only to agree on matters from finance to family, but it is also an excellent opportunity for you to learn to disagree lovingly with your spouse while working through conflict.
Premarital counseling provides you with a safe place to begin to work through your differences before they become an unwelcome source of contention. As a trained Marriage & Family Therapist, and as a certified Prepare & Enrich and SYMBIS facilitator, one of the ways I help engaged couples get off to a good start is by having them take a Couple's Assessment.
In our work together you and your partner will learn to:
- Identify strength and growth areas
- Explore personality dynamics
- Strengthen communication skills
- Resolve conflicts and reduce stress
- Explore family of origin issues
- Comfortably discuss financial issues
- Establish personal, couple, and family goals
- Learn each other's love language
- Becoming aware of your caution areas
