Premarital Counseling Package

Premarital Counseling Before you Tie the Knot

This premarital package is designed to help you as a couple prepare for a solid marriage and understand your strengths and improve your areas of growth. These sessions will be customized and catered to your relationship.

My goal is simple….. To help you reach yours.

In this package you will have a relationship assessment, receive a workbook, and 3 therapy sessions. Let me explain what you will expect in each of these sessions. 

What to Expect from Premarital Counseling:

Online Relationship Assessment & Report: The easy, online assessment (from Prepare and Enrich) is completed before starting the initial premarital counseling. This assessment is customized to each person. It looks at the strengths of your relationship and identities the growth areas. This process will help assess the personality styles of each individual, and draws out the relationship dynamic. I will walk through the results with you over the course of your three sessions. You will receive a copy of the report that will help you visually identify the strengths and understand each other on a deeper level. In these sessions you will learn how to work with each other’s differences. This assessment will also help stimulate conversations between the both of you. (The assessment is an additional $29.00, but worth your time and money).

The Couple’s Workbook: At the first session, you will receive a premarital couple’s workbook (from the Prepare and Enrich program) exploring various areas of relationships, tools to communicate, wedding planning tools, etc. This workbook will be used alongside the therapy process.

Identify and manage major marriage stressors (in-laws, financial issues, parenting).  Define the boundaries and limitations to help the marriage grow.  Gain tools to resolve conflict and understand.  Learn skills to create a secure bond with one another.
