Pre-marital Counseling

Many couples spend months, sometimes even years planning a wedding. Often couples are so excited about the wedding that planning for a strong relationship can be overlooked. Counseling Services provides pre-marital counseling to assist couples in building a solid foundation for their marriage. The couple will take the PREPARE inventory to assist them in identifying relationship strength and growth areas. Other inventories and personality tests may also be used . Readings and homework activities may also be assigned. These tools and activities help couples to focus on critical relationship issues. The couple will meet with a counselor weekly for a total of 8 or more sessions.
