BUILDING the FOUNDATION
~ PreMarital Counseling ~
You're planning a wedding.
Let's make sure you're also preparing for the marriage.
You already know you love each other.
Premarital counseling isn't about questioning that.
It's about understanding how the two of you will build a life together —
how you'll communicate, navigate conflict, make decisions,
manage change, blend families and cultures,
and stay connected when real life inevitably gets complicated.
Because a strong marriage isn't one that never struggles.
It's one that knows how to find its way through.
What will we explore together?
-
How each of you communicates —
-
and what happens when communication breaks down
-
-
How you approach conflict and repair
-
The expectations you're each bringing into marriage
-
Money, priorities and the life you're building together
-
Family-of-origin patterns that may follow you into your marriage
-
Personality differences —
-
including the ones you currently find adorable
-
-
Personal, couple and family goals
-
The stresses and transitions that test even very good relationships
* For international couples ~
navigating cultural differences and
creating a shared life that belongs to both of you
My work draws on established relationship-assessment tools
and decades of experience helping couples understand
that it's not simply whether they love each other, but how they function together.
As a certified facilitator in both PREPARE/ENRICH and SYMBIS
(Saving Your Marriage Before It Starts)
I can tailor our work to the particular strengths,

There is no perfect marriage to prepare for.
There is only the marriage the two of you are choosing to create.
