Premarital counseling or cohabiting counseling is a form of therapy to assist couples in preparing for long, healthy, marriages or moving in together. Premarital / cohabiting counseling is designed to help the couple consider and communicate their thoughts about various topics that often arise in a cohabiting space.
Premarital counseling is suggested for all couples before their wedding day or before moving in together. This type of counseling is not just for couples who are struggling, but for those who are in a good place and need techniques to keep a relationship stable. Premarital / per-cohabiting counseling will deal with the Four Pillars that all relationships are based on; Friendship, Trust, Communication and Sex. The goal is to guide the couple through these Four Pillars in order to establish proper coping skills when life challenges arise.
Premarital / per-cohabiting counseling will also cover beliefs, values, finances, family of origin/background, creating your own family, roles within the relationship and more. In order to help determine these principals, a SYMBIS Assessment will be used to measure these factors.
Religious pre-marital counseling is also available.
