Starting Premarital counseling

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 Framingham, MA 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 Framingham 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.

Maggie is a great therapist. She really is a good person and we always come up for a solution to any task I may face. She's understanding and really listens and provides the best answers to anything. I would recommend her to anybody dealing with relationship issues to bipolar disorder to pretty much anything. To anyone who may have her she's a great counselor and really listens and doesn't rush what you say she cares about the well being of you. And that's what makes her a great therapist.

I have been working with Cameron for about two years now and I can definitely see the progress we have made in helping me to set and maintain boundaries and prioritize self-care. He is a very empathetic and thoughtful counselor who does not talk down to me, but listens and connects with respect and sincerity.
