pre-marital counseling

 

Marriage, while exciting and full of possibilities, can also be a time of significant adjustment for couples. When the planning, preparation, parties, and celebrations of you as a couple have passed, what remains are the activities of daily “regular” life. Like after every significant event in one’s life, it is not unusual to encounter a let-down of sorts. This is normal. For some couples, this transition can be problematic, especially if the couple had experienced conflict before the wedding.

What You Can Expect From Our Premarital Counseling Program

The couple will start by taking a comprehensive compatibility test. After analysis of the test results and the couple’s interview, I will customize an effective discussion and therapy fit for the couple.

I will help you navigate these topics before and after the wedding and will empower you with the skills required to live harmoniously as a married couple. I can help you articulate your expectations, hopes, and dreams, for your newly joined lives. I will guide you to a pragmatic approach that encourages and prizes flexibility, fairness, respect, and the maintenance of your friendship.
