Pre- Marital Coaching

Preparing for marriage can be one of the most joyous times in your life! At the same time, as you start preparing for your wedding and subsequent marriage you may also feel anxious and stressed. After all, this is a major life event! Preparing for marriage can help to alleviate that anxiety, and ensure that you get off to the right start.

When you do premarital coaching, you not only learn about what you should do to have a healthy marriage, you also learn about yourself as an individual and how to bring your best self to the relationship. In this process you may identify areas that require individual healing. And that’s normal!

Premarital coaching can be done as a couple, in a group or both. If you would like to work on specific issues currently affecting your relationship individual premarital counseling would be a great fit for you.
