Pre-Marriage Counseling

Pre-marriage counseling will not only help with the planning of your wedding, it will help your marriage greatly. Christian pre-marriage counseling although can be completed in one month should take place as soon as possible. Sample topics to address: transitioning into the 'married life', what are the building blocks for having a healthy marriage, spirituality and devotional time, establishing Biblical based values and standards to live by, communication, developing problem solving skills, dealing with personal and joint hurts, finances, sexuality, involvement with in-laws, children, pets, alcohol and chemical use, etc. 

 Couples will be challenged to develop a world and life view that has its source in God's Word. Pre-marriage counseling is a time for couples to discuss in an open, honest, and non-threatening atmosphere ways to better understand themselves, each other, and God. 

Couples... Here is a fun activity! 

YOU ARE THE COUNSELOR- You each need a sheet of paper Imagine that you’ve been married for ten years. You’re a little older, a littler wiser. What would you say to: 
1. A young couple engaged to be married 
2. A couple at the end of their first year of marriage 
 3. A couple in conflict and considering a divorce 

Now exchange sheets and share your experience. 

 Best of Luck & Best Wishes!
