Premarital Counseling
Premarital counseling is a type of therapy that helps couples prepare for marriage. It can help ensure that you and your partner have a strong, healthy relationship — giving you a better chance for a stable and satisfying marriage. This kind of counseling can also help you identify weaknesses that could become problems during marriage.
Premarital counseling encourages open communication, allows you to discuss expectations, and helps both partners understand each other’s values, goals, and concerns. The counseling sessions help identify potential weaknesses in the relationship that could become bigger issues later, allowing couples to address them before they lead to significant problems.
