Premarital Counseling

Premarital Counseling is counseling provided by a marriage and family therapist or a member of the clergy to help a couple prepare for marriage. Premarital counseling aims to help the couple examine unresolved issues, clarify personal values, and address relationship expectations to increase their chances of having a successful marriage. Couples are also encouraged to improve their communication and capitalize on their relationship strengths to boost relationship satisfaction. Some churches require a couple to undergo premarital counseling before the wedding.
