PREMARITAL COUNSELING RESOURCES
Perhaps your minister recommmended that you get some premarital counseling as preparation for the wedding. Maybe you have heard of your Catholic friends going to Pre-cana and it seemed like a good idea find some tools and skills to make your relationship long lasting. Some couples simply want to know that they are starting off on the right foot by getting some psychotherapy before they walk down the aisle. Or it could be that you know that you have encountered some major probalems and want to work on them before you get married.
It never hurts to begin your marriage with the basic communication skills and conflict management tools. Premarital counseling helps you start off on the right foot. Using a group of questionnaires, I will walk you through discussing the issues that are essential for couples to explore before getting married. I help couples identify problem areas that might emerge in their future life together and I guide couples in developing patterns of interaction that lead to meaningful exploration of issues, rather than destructive arguments. These patterns offer an alternative to either rage-filled and hurtful interactions or quick withdrawals without issues being fully discussed.
The tools you receive though our premarital counseling sessions, as well as the available articles, help to get your marriage off to a healthy start. A strong marriage translates into a strong family bond, which offers a firm foundation to stand on when experiencing difficult situations. Marriage won’t always be easy, but knowing you are joined with someone who is working equally as hard toward a successful marriage is worth so much as you live your life together.
