Setting the marriage up for success

Experts believe that premarital counseling reduces the chances of divorce by 30-50%. This is significant and your marriage is worth it! We know that all of the planning and decision making around a wedding can be stressful. Think about how much time and energy is involved, and the wedding only lasts a day. Set your marriage up for success by building a strong foundation ahead of time and using your time being married to build on this strong foundation. We know times of transition can be stressful. Inviting someone to journey with you, to celebrate the wins and navigate the challenges, moves you toward a healthier marriage.

What does premarital counseling entail?

We have multiple therapists on our team who find great joy in doing premarital counseling. Each of them has a different style and approach but all of them offer neutral, safe, vulnerable spaces to have the important conversations that engaged couples need to be having. Being intentional with these crucial conversations, guided by a neutral party, benefits your future together. Counseling takes some of the pressure off during the wedding planning phase by providing a guide on the pre-marriage journey. 

Practical tools are also a part of the process, so that as a couple, you feel equipped as differences or challenges arise in your marriage. We also encourage follow up sessions with your therapist for your first year of marriage. Check ins are very helpful as you transition from engaged to married.
