premarital therapy
Helping you discover what it takes to
build a strong marriage.
Whether you’re engaged, thinking about getting engaged, or just in a serious relationship and wanting to build a better foundation, premarital counselling can be a helpful next step. Studies show that counselling before marriage can increase the chance of “success” in marriage by up to 30%. Success doesn’t just mean avoiding divorce… Couples who participate in premarital counselling tend to report higher levels of relationship satisfaction, as well as overall health within their relationship.
When working with couples, I use an assessment tool called “Prepare & Enrich” to help you identify your strength and growth areas. This tool provides us with lots of useful information specific to your relationship. From there, we identify the areas of focus that are most important to you as a couple and can determine the number of sessions that will work best for your hopes and budget. Here are some of the topics we will cover in premarital counselling:
Conflict Resolution
Communication styles
Family of origin dynamics
Marriage expectations
Financial expectations
Sex + affection expectations
Parenting expectations
Managing stress
