​ What Can I Expect from PreMarital Counseling Sessions? ​

PreMarital counseling is recommended for all couples, even those without significant relationship struggles or issues. 

There are many questions couples face before cohabitation or marriage that can help develop a solid foundation for years to come. Premarital counseling can be a safe place to start the conversation. For example, where a couple chooses to live, how to handle big purchases, shared finances, work and career, and the desire to build a family.

Counseling before marriage can help couples foster healthy communications, set realistic expectations for marriage, and develop conflict resolutions skills.
