Wedding Date, Photographer, Catering, and Counseling... Here's Why to Say YES to Premarital Counseling

Engaged? In a relationship and thinking about marriage? Needing to talk about finances, conflict resolution, sex, religion, and all other delicate conversations? You don’t have to have a ring on your finger to benefit from premarital counseling. 

Premarital counseling provides a space for important topics for couples to gain tools to navigate conversations so you can create new ways to talk to one another. It lays the foundation for couples as some topics can feel a bit scary to bring up on your own. Having a therapist in the room to help guide the conversation in a safe, productive, and beneficial way is so helpful. You’re not alone!

What many don’t know: there is a difference in premarital counseling and couples counseling. Here are some differences:

• Premarital counseling is:

  • Structured and topic-based

  • Focused on many levels of a relationship

  • Helps lay the foundation of a healthy relationship

  • Shorter term process with the idea that the space becomes comfortable enough to seek out couples counseling as needed for the future

• Couples counseling is:

  • Resolving certain issue(s) that are present

  • Focuses on repairing ruptures, big and small

  • An exploration of the relationship patterns to find a way to create new, healthier patterns

• Both are:

  • Spaces to explore needs, expectations, goals, and so much more to provide a healthier relationship on a foundation of understanding

  • A great way to get to know your partner on a deeper level

  • Beneficial for your relationship
