Premarital & Newlywed Couples
Did you recently get engaged?
Would you like to feel closer to your partner?
Are you and your partner looking to take your relationship to the next level?
When you consider marriage, deciding on your honeymoon or figuring out where you want to live are the first things you plan. However, have you considered the benefits of premarital counseling? It might not be the most fun or romantic engagement topic, but it can set your marriage up to survive and thrive in the long term despite the odds.
With the guidance of a skilled therapist, premarital counseling can help you and your significant other improve your relationship. You will develop better communication skills, learn conflict management, uncover your shared core values, and identify potential areas of future conflict. This professional support can be a game-changer in preparing you for marriage.
Does this sound familiar between you and your partner?
- You and your partner have arguments that do not get resolved.
- You feel like you’re always the one who has to compromise to keep the peace.
- You are concerned about how your partner’s financial situation will affect you as a married couple.
- You are worried about losing affection or having a diminished sex life after marriage.
- You want to resolve religious or financial differences.
- You want to define your marital roles and expectations.
If you find yourself nodding along to these points, premarital counseling can be a beacon of hope for both you and your partner. The intimate nature of marriage necessitates open and honest communication about everything, no matter how awkward or uncomfortable. Premarital counseling will equip you with the skills to be a better listener and effectively express your needs and concerns.
Premarital counseling will also empower you with the tools to navigate conflict in your marriage. Living with someone inevitably leads to arguments, from the trivial to the more serious. How you handle these disagreements will shape your relationship. Learn how to de-escalate arguments and fight fairly, ensuring you do not cause emotional pain from things you say in the heat of the moment.
In premarital counseling, we will likely discuss topics you have previously discussed with your partner and subjects you haven’t considered before. This fresh perspective from an objective third party will uncover new aspects of your partner, sparking a sense of excitement and curiosity. It is an excellent time for us to find unexpected areas where you disagree and give you the tools to handle possible future conflicts.
Deciding to get married is one of life’s most treasured experiences. Premarital counseling can help you and your partner turn that momentous occasion into a loving, lasting relationship.
