Examples of some of the topics that are discussed during pre-marital counseling sessions include:
- Finances
- Parenting styles
- Communication
- Decision making
- Roles in the marriage
(We’ll cover these and more in my pre-marital counseling sessions and workshops.)
Create mutual goals with your partner and resolutions for your marriage.
You and your partner may have different ideas of what specifically will mean you’ve achieved a happy and successful marriage. By discussing beforehand what you both hope to get out of your marriage, you can determine a few resolutions that combine what you both want. This gives you common goals to work toward that you both believe in.
Deal with conflict in a healthy way.
Even the happiest couples experience stress and conflict, and it’s essential to learn how to deal with these constructively as you prepare for the wedding and in the years to come.
Pre-marital counseling isn’t a compatibility test or a gauntlet to run.
It’s an educational process designed to support your relationship by providing the tools and coaching you’ll need to build a fulfilling life together in the years to come.
