Benefits of Premarital Counseling

Premarital counseling is a gift you can give your marriage before it has even started. In fact, couples who attend premarital counseling have significantly lower divorce rates than couples who do not. A study published in the Journal of Family Psychology reported that couples who participated in some type of premarital counseling were 31% less likely to divorce. With divorce rates soaring, many couples who attend therapy before marriage find peace of mind in simply knowing they are less likely to divorce in comparison to those who don’t. Additionally, couples who attend premarital counseling are armed with the skills to prepare for and prevent many issues from occurring rather than trying to fix problems once they have happened.

Learn the Tools for Success

Thanks to extensive marital therapy research, we know a lot about why marriages fail and why they succeed. Armed with this information, we help couples navigate these potential issues and teach them strategies for success before the marriage begins. We coach couples in effective communication and help them navigate their own life experiences and how this impacts what they bring with them into the marriage.

Premarital counseling also helps couples to be proactive about building best relational practices now. During premarital counseling couples learn how to navigate their unique relational patterns, and their core emotions and how to talk about them. As a result, couples not only learn how to prevent potential problems from occurring, they also learn how they can proactively build a successful and happy future together. This results in couples going into marriage with a greater sense of confidence and peace about what the future holds for their relationship as well as their ability to handle relational challenges when they do occur.
