Why Pre-Marital Therapy?
Marriage is not easy; it is hard work and many of them fail. The statistics are against you. Don’t let that happen to you. The key is to be prepared and committed. Get counseling, coaching, and direction before you take that leap. Some faith based officials require that you go through premarital counseling before they perform a ceremony. They want you to have a strong foundation and so do we.
It is a very serious decision that should not be taken lightly. Studies have shown that premarital counseling can help alleviate anxiety and fears. It does not mean you have a problem. It means you are wise enough and mature enough to be prepared. No matter what age you are or socioeconomic status, it is an excellent decision and you and your relationship are worth it.
