Premarital Counseling & Marriage Coaching
6-Week Course


Many couples wonder what they need to discuss before
getting married.  Couples usually spend a lot of time and
effort preparing for their wedding day but arrive at the
altar woefully unprepared for marriage.

From my experience with the many couples I have
married, most think they don’t need counseling or if
they agree to it, they want to hear someone say “Looks
like you will do great, Good Luck.”  But times are
changing, and young couples today are beginning to
see the value in counseling, in view of the fact that their
parents and/or many friends and acquaintances have
experienced divorce.  And greater caution is being seen
among couples exchanging vows for a second time.

My goal is to prepare you for marriage, to help you
understand the true lifelong benefits of marriage.  If we
understand the benefits and blessings of a good strong
marriage, then it makes it worth it to prepare for and
endure the challenges.  

Through honesty and communication, many problems
can be avoided.  Through love and forgiveness many
existing problems can be overcome.  Sidestep problems
now, while you have the best chance.  It is the perfect
time to address difficult issues.  Issues that exist before
marriage and are unknown or ignored usually develop
into bigger problems after marriage.  Since couples are
in the pre-marital stage of their relationship and are
usually younger, happier and more emotionally engaged
and more highly committed to their future, it makes
sense to have these important discussions before
marriage.

We recommend 6 1-hour counseling sessions.  This is a
six week course designed to equip an engaged couple
with the tools necessary to enter into marriage with
Jesus as the strength and center.  You will receive a
counseling workbook which will discuss the following:


Session 1 -        
Getting Acquainted
Starting a New Family
Family Rules
         
Session 2 & 3 -  
Learning to Compromise
