What is premarital counseling?
Premarital counseling is a type of therapy designed to help couples prepare for marriage. It focuses on building strong communication, resolving conflicts in healthy ways, and strengthening trust. At Practical Solutions Counseling, we also offer Christian premarital counseling that integrates Biblical principles with practical tools for daily life.
Why should we do premarital counseling?
Many couples ask, “Is premarital counseling really worth it?” Research shows that couples who complete premarital counseling have a stronger foundation, fewer conflicts, and a lower risk of divorce. It’s a proactive way to invest in a lifelong, healthy relationship.
What topics will we cover?
We talk about the real-life challenges couples face: communication, finances, intimacy, family expectations, faith, conflict styles, and more. Our goal is to help you feel prepared, supported, and confident as you begin your marriage.
How long does premarital counseling take?
Most couples complete premarital counseling in 6–8 sessions, though this can vary based on your needs. Some couples prefer a few focused sessions, while others choose a longer series to dive deeper into their relationship.
Do you offer faith-based counseling?
Yes. We provide Biblically based premarital counseling as well as skill-based counseling. You can choose the approach that best fits your values and relationship goals.
