Premarital Counseling

• Working through the defensiveness and hurts.
• Couples hearing each other in a supportive manner.
• Couples finding hope and healing.
• Therapist observing communication patterns in the session.
• Therapist disrupting the unhealthy dynamic and offering input for alternative ways of relating.

The most common problem in marriage is lack of communication. Often times married people get stuck in an unhealthy pattern of communication that causes pain for both partners. In couples therapy, in a supportive manner, we help clients see their part in the relationship dysfunction and teach them to relate to each other in a healthy manner. When working with issues of infidelity, addiction, and financial challenges, we provide clients with concrete homework to apply outside therapy.

The initial phase of a marriage relationship is full of mad love and infatuation. Each partner is more than willing to compromise and tolerate the other person. However, it is during this time, while both partners are willing to change that great habits and marriage culture is created. In pre-marital counseling, the couple is encouraged to look at each other’s differences and have a sense of clarity in what they expect from each other. Issues of physical intimacy, finance, conflict resolution, and communication issues are discussed. we use an assessment tool to highlight areas needing clarity and conversation. The role of pre-marital counseling is to help couples start their marriage strong with realistic expectations from each other.
