PRE-MARITAL COUNSELING

When love is new and exciting we see the beauty in each other, sometimes gloss over issues or totally miss some red flags. As the relationship blossoms and moves towards commitment, cohabitating and ultimately engagement and the business of planning a wedding celebration can be distracting, fun and anxiety provoking all at once. A wise woman, my mom, once told me when I was planning my wedding….”don’t spend all your time planning a wedding that you forget to plan your marriage”. There is no truer statement. For this reason I offer Pre-Marital Counseling.

In Pre-Marital counseling I will guide you through the hard conversations and discuss topics such as:

  • in-laws

  • relationship with extended family

  • living arrangements

  • division of household chores

  • careers and finances

  • friends, friendships and past relationships

  • intimacy

  • when/ how to build our family (children)

  • blending families

  • and more
