Pre-Engagement & Premarital Counseling

Getting married is a big decision… a HUGE decision, really.
The person you marry will have more impact on your life than any other person. Understating that, it is very important to make sure that your relationship is on a firm foundation right from the beginning.

How can you be sure this marriage will be on solid ground?

Even if your relationship seems good, there are still things that you can likely improve to ensure that yours is a love and relationship that will last.

Sometimes, however, relationships that seem good on the surface are just avoiding talking about issues that cause conflict. Because there is not fighting does not mean the relationship is healthy.

When you get married, those unspoken issues WILL come to the surface and need to be addressed. The earlier they are dealt with, the less time there is for hurt, bitterness, and resentment to set in. Before you take the plunge, make sure your relationship can float.

Pre-Marital VS Pre-Engagement

Pre-engagement counseling is an insightful step for couples who are considering a future together but have not yet decided to marry. This counseling focuses on exploring and understanding each other’s perspectives, values, and goals. It’s an opportunity to address potential challenges and align your visions for the future, ensuring you both are making a well-informed decision about commitment. You don’t want to find out after you are engaged that you are not right for eachother!

Pre-marital counseling, tailored for couples who are already engaged, is designed to prepare you for the journey of marriage. It delves into various aspects of a shared life, such as communication dynamics, financial management, and family planning. This type of counseling aims to strengthen your relationship by building a solid foundation for a healthy and enduring marriage, addressing any concerns before you tie the knot.

What makes a strong, healthy marriage?

The recipe for a good relationship is relatively simple, but you must know the right components and put them in their proper order. All good marriages have these three things in common: good communication, the ability to resolve conflict, and loving your spouse in the unique way they need to be loved. If these three ingredients are present, you will have an enjoyable marriage that will last.
