Getting engaged, planning a wedding, and beginning a marriage can be such an exciting time. Did you know that premarital counseling is an important item to add to your list?
What Is Premarital Counseling?
Counselor Caroline shares this about premarital counseling, “Premarital counseling can be the best investment made in strengthening ties, improving intimacy and promoting longevity in the couples overall relationship.” The goal of premarital counseling is to establish a foundation to help you and your partner be successful and continue to grow. It will also help build a plan for when problems or challenges arise in the relationship.
What To Expect
When you begin premarital counseling, your counselor will typically work to understand you and your partner as individuals and as a couple. Your counselor will also work to help each of you determine your wants and needs from the relationship. While every couple and counselor are different, premarital counseling often consists of 6-10 sessions in a 3 month period.
Some topics you might discuss during your sessions include:
- Potential Challenges & How To Work Through Them
- Money Management
- Sex & Intimacy
- Communication & Conflict Resolution Skills
