MARRIAGE PREPARATION
Marriage Preparation is an educational and psychotherapeutic process where a couple accesses their relationship strengths and challenges. We believe marriage preparation is a powerful investment that doesn’t just focus on the longevity of marriage, but also on building a fulfilling, intimate and close relationship that enriches the lives of both partners.
Marriage preparation provides couples with the opportunity to take a candid look at their relationship and future together. Couples often consider future plans such as roles within the relationship, family planning, financial strategizing, communication styles, and family history.
