Take the First StepIs this for you?
This Program Is Built for Couples Who Want More Than a Checklist
A lot of premarital programs are generic workbooks or one-size-fits-all courses. This is different. You work one-on-one with a licensed therapist who gets to know you as a couple and helps you build real skills for your specific relationship.
You're engaged or planning to get married
And you want to start your marriage with a strong foundation, not just hope for the best.
You want real skills, not just conversation
You want to learn how to handle disagreements, talk about money, and build shared expectations.
You want a personalized approach
Not a group class. Not a video course. A licensed therapist working with the two of you, focused on your relationship.
You want something evidence-based and secular
Our approach is grounded in clinical research, not religious curriculum. All beliefs and backgrounds are welcome.
What you'll walk away with
Five Sessions That Give You a Real Head Start
Most couples don't think about how they handle conflict until they're in the middle of one. This program surfaces the patterns early, so you can build healthier habits before they become entrenched.
- ✓ A clear picture of your relationship's strengths and growth areas, based on the PREPARE/ENRICH assessment
- ✓ Communication skills you'll actually use, not just talk about
- ✓ A shared understanding of how you each approach conflict, finances, family, and intimacy
- ✓ Strategies for navigating disagreements without damaging the relationship
- ✓ Confidence that you're starting your marriage with open eyes and shared expectations
How it works
A Simple, Structured Process
The program takes about five weeks. All sessions are online, 50 minutes each, and scheduled at times that work for both of you. Day and evening appointments are available Monday through Thursday.
Get-to-Know-You Session
Your therapist learns about your relationship, your backgrounds, and what brought you to counseling. You'll receive instructions on how to complete the PREPARE/ENRICH assessment.
Take the Assessment
Each of you independently completes the PREPARE/ENRICH couples assessment, covering 30+ relationship topics. Your therapist uses the results to create a roadmap for your remaining sessions.
Four Working Sessions
Together with your therapist, you work through the areas where your perspectives differ. You'll practice real communication and conflict skills tailored to your specific dynamics.
Start Your Marriage Ready
You walk into your marriage knowing how to talk, how to listen, and how to navigate the inevitable tough conversations.
