What Couples Are Saying
Real Words From Real Couples
Because success stories are best told by the people living them.
I can’t recommend this premarital program enough. It was such a valuable experience! Our sessions were full of “aha” moments and we still use the communication tools today. My husband and I felt completely prepared for marriage. It was one of the best decisions we made!
The only thing we didn't like about our sessions was they eventually came to an end. My now hubby looked forward to every one. We definitely recommend!
We felt that our marriage was worth the investment. We found new ways to comminicate and that was priceless!

FAQ
What exactly is premarital counseling?
Premarital counseling is a guided series of sessions designed to help you and your partner strengthen communication, identify potential stress points, and build a solid foundation before marriage. It’s preparation for what every couple wants for their new marriage; a healthy, thriving partnership.
While therapy focuses on healing past wounds, Premarital counseling focuses on building skills for the future — communication, conflict resolution, money management, intimacy, and shared goals.
We've been living together for a while. Is premarital counseling really necessary?
Totally fair question! Living together definitely teaches you a lot about each other! But marriage brings new layers, like shared finances, long-term planning, shifting family roles, and deeper emotional expectations.
Premarital counseling helps you strengthen your communication, clarify values, and make sure you’re aligned on what “forever” really looks like. It’s less about fixing problems and more about protecting the connection you already have.
What topics are covered?
We'll discuss topics like communication styles, conflict resolution, love languages and intimacy, money, family dynamics and the different expecations you'll both be bringing into your new marriage. My premarital program is based on a personality assessment, so each session will be tailored to your unique relationship.
How many sessions can we expect to have and how much does it cost?
6 sessions are recommended so we can thoroughly review your full relationship assessment together, however, the two of you ultimately have the option to decide the total number of sessions based on the areas of your relationship you'd like to improve.
The goal is to ensure you both feel entirely prepared and confident as you begin your married life together.
Should you decide to pay as you go, you'll pay $100 per session in addition to the $35 assessment fee.
If you wish to complete the full 6 sessions up front, the assessment fee would be waived and you'll also receive unlimited post-marriage checkup sessions to help keep you relationship on track.
Do We Have to Be Local To Work With You?
No. Each session is scheduled virtually via Google Meet.
