Premarital
Deciding to pursue marriage is one of the most exciting times in life. Pre-marital counseling will help to build a healthy foundation that is critical for success. Pre-Marital counseling improves relationship skills and establishes realistic expectations within God’s plan for marriage. Some of our therapists use the PREPARE® material which explores communication, conflict resolution, marriage and sexual expectations, financial management, parenting, and family of origin. Several of our counselors are PREPARE® certified. We are dedicated to help couples build a healthy and joyful marriage.
We have designed an eight session premarital counseling package which covers the subjects research states is most important for premarital couples. This package also includes a computer assessment of their relationship. We have a program which includes:
