Premarital Counseling Expectations

Engagement is such a meaningful season—a time to not only plan for the wedding but to prepare your relationship for a strong and lasting marriage. It’s the perfect opportunity to work through smaller issues before they grow and to build resilience for the inevitable changes and challenges that life brings.

​

When I work with couples in premarital counseling, we begin with an assessment to understand your relationship’s current strengths and growth areas. We’ll look at how each of you sees the relationship and identify the topics most important to focus on. These often include things like communication, managing conflict, friendship, finances, sexual intimacy, and expectations of marriage.

​

Most couples benefit from about 10 to 12 sessions, depending on your goals and how you progress in applying the tools we cover. My role is to guide you through this process so you feel more connected, prepared, and confident as you step into marriage.
