Love That Lasts - Preparation For Marriage
"An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure."
Research has repeatedly shown that couples who attend marriage preparation courses or premarital counseling and address their concerns in advance are much less vulnerable to divorce. Our marriage preparation program is designed to give engaged and recently married couples a solid foundation for a lifetime of love. In addition to covering the basics of healthy relationships, effective communication skills and conflict resolution, couples have the opportunity to address their premarital questions and to explore such topics as:
- Planning your wedding
- Concerns about finances and different approaches to money management
- Concerns about having children
- Parenting decisions
- Creating blended families
- Affair prevention
- Relationships with parents, in-laws and friends
- Enhancing sexual intimacy
Because we know that this is a busy time in your lives, and because couples come to marriage preparation programs with many different concerns and needs, we offer a variety of ways to learn the information and skills you will need for a successful relationship. Whether you choose private premarital counseling, the Start Right-Stay Connected premarital class or some combination of the two, you are taking an important step in strengthening the foundation of your long term relationship.
