Pre-Marital Counseling

At the Center for Relationship and Intimacy Well-Being, our premarital counseling program is designed to support you and your partner build a foundation of trust, resilience, and joy as you prepare for marriage. We know that a strong partnership is not only built on love but also on understanding, clear communication, and the tools to grow together through life’s changes. Our approach to premarital counseling is compassionate, inclusive, and tailored to your unique dynamic as a couple.

We explore your values, beliefs, and expectations around core areas like finances, family, intimacy, and long-term goals to help you align as you move forward. We also help you develop strategies for handling conflict, building effective communication skills, and fostering an environment where each of you feels seen and supported.
