Premarital counseling FAQs

What is premarital counseling?

Premarital counseling is a type of therapy that helps couples prepare for and build a happy, successful marriage. Premarital therapists at Thriveworks in Bastrop, TX can help couples develop essential communication skills, identify potential conflict areas, and learn how to manage their specific relationship issues.

How does premarital counseling work?

When you and your partner begin premarital counseling, your counselor will want to get to know you both as well as your relationship. In order to accomplish this, they will ask questions around the following:

  • Common interests and activities
  • Marital expectations
  • Budget and Finance
  • Children and parenting
  • Intimacy

If there is a particular area that they feel needs to be explored further (for example, you note that you and your partner have very different spending habits and views on money), they’ll guide the conversation in the given direction.

Is premarital counseling conducted in person or online?

Premarital counseling at Thriveworks is conducted both in person and through Online therapy. We encourage you to choose the option that works best for you and your partner.

How long does premarital counseling last?

Generally speaking, Thriveworks premarital counseling in Bastrop typically lasts for 8-10 weeks. This, however, can vary depending on the counselor’s approach as well as the clients’ preferences and needs. For example, some couples might request additional sessions to work through problem areas that they’ve identified in their relationship pre-wedding.

Meet with one of our skilled premarital counselors at Thriveworks Bastrop who have worked with couples in all stages of relationships — someone who can help give you the skills you need for the happiest, most satisfying relationship possible.

What is Premarital Counseling Like?

Premarital counseling is your marriage cheat-sheet, in a way. It’s your opportunity to anticipate and work through issues before they’re even a problem. Why not figure all of this stuff out now when you’re so thrilled to be together, instead of down the road when frustrations turn into yelling matches and resentment.

Why not do your best to prevent all of that by examining these concerns now, calmly, with a professional who wants what’s best for you?

Some topics you will discuss with your premarital counselor include:

  • Communication styles
  • Relationships with extended family
  • Plans for having children
  • Shared interests
  • Sexuality and intimacy
  • Finances, budgeting and debt
  • Home ownership vs. rental
  • Holiday travel expectations
  • Long-term intentions and goals
  • Household duties
  • Spending time alone and together
  • And many more

Just in a day I feel a sigh of relief. I needed to talk to someone. I have everyone around me but no one. To just let someone know how I feel and to know I’m heard means everything. Thank you

As far as appreciation, I sincerely appreciate the entire thing of this therapy. I feel as if the right clinician was assigned to me. Her knowledge diligence and application are to be appreciated. The way she delivers or presents her wording is to be admired. I definitely feel that yesterday’s session was an exceptional experience. Even though yesterday was not a great day for me. I came out of the session feeling better and hopeful. Thanks again. James

I do like the resources that she brings to the table and her understanding. According to my capabilities at work, I'm trying to do so, knowing that. Of course, there are always higher standards, but she keeps everything within season.
