Remind yourselves to invest in and plan for your relationship even more than you do for your wedding day….

Pre-Marital Counseling

Nothing is more heartbreaking than helping brides and grooms create a gorgeous wedding day and learn later that their marriage ended because they did not plan for their relationship.

Consider the following scenario:

Joe and Sally had their gorgeous wedding and reception four years ago. Their guests cheered when they shared their first kiss. Time passed and things got a bit rough and before they knew it, they were headed to the divorce court - alone. However, they learned that the divorce process had new requirements prior to filing. People were now required to design and mail out "divorce invitations" to the same guests who attended their wedding four years ago! This "divorce ceremony" also required them, their guests and the officiant to return to the same site and occupy the same position as the day of the wedding. This time, Joe and Sally have to inform everyone why they are divorcing, all the ways they have tried to save their marriage (or not save their marriage) and that nothing worked. Does this make you think twice about getting to know your fiance more intimately through pre-marital counseling before you get married?

Please note, there is no requirement, judgment or rejection from us if you desire to hire us for our services and choose not to seek out any pre-marital counseling. We seriously want to encourage you to do all you can to plan for your marital relationship as much as, if not more than your wedding day! Marriages fail because the brides and grooms fail to plan. When all is said and done, no one goes home with you and your new spouse, including the officiant.
