Pre-marital counseling may be the last thing on a newly engaged couples’ wedding checklist, but research shows it can significantly increase the chance for a successful marriage. In pre-marital counseling, the therapist works with couples to develop strong communication skills, learn conflict management, uncover shared core values, and identify differences that could create future conflict.
If you have concerns about any of the following issues, pre-marital counseling can help:
- You and your partner have arguments that don’t get resolved
- You feel like you’re the one who always compromises
- You worry your partner’s financial situation will affect your marriage
- You’re concerned about meddling in-laws
- You’re seeking healthier ways to handle conflict
- You want to resolve religious or financial differences
- You need help defining marital roles and expectations
- You’re wondering how to best blend families
Getting married is a big step. Pre-marital counseling can help you and your partner turn that momentous occasion into a loving, lasting relationship. If you are ready for the marriage you envisioned, contact Envision Therapy today to schedule your first pre-marital counseling session.
