~ why premarital counseling helps any relationship ~
Research shows that people who share the same values, communicate effectively, and have a good friendship are more likely to enjoy their romantic relationship and build a marriage that lasts.
Premarital counseling could help you and your partner explore where you stand on important issues.
A couple may already know that they want a family/children, however a counselor can help you discuss your vision of family and what you each expect from each other as partners and parents.
Another couple may wonder how to best manage a career while still making their marriage / love a priority.
Some are coming into the relationship with kids and need to discuss strategies for blending families.
No matter what your unique situation is, premarital counseling is an opportunity to get to know your significant other even better.
It’s all in defining the details. It’s about becoming aware of what our partner envisions in a life together with you. It’s also about defining what you want in a marriage. This is why premarital counseling helps any relationship. It gives you a chance to map out a foundation for the two of you, to live a fulfilling life together.
Another great benefit to premarital counseling is that you’ll reduce the amount of disagreements you may have later! Learn effective communication techniques with Imago therapist Chana Pfeifer.
