Premarital Counseling

Premarital counseling, also known as premarital education, is a type of counseling that is done before a couple marries. Many couples seek premarital counseling to better prepare for marriage and create a solid foundation for their future together.

Therapists who offer premarital counseling often guide couples through discussions about heavy-duty topics that include finances, children, marriage expectations, and sex. They also can help couples improve conflict resolution and communications skills, resolve existing resentments, and unearth potential problems in the future.

Research shows that couples who complete premarital counseling have higher levels of satisfaction in their marriage and are less likely to divorce over five years.
