Premarital Counseling, a Proactive Investment in a Lifetime of Love

In a world where weddings often steal the spotlight, the true meaning of marriage can be overshadowed. Forbes reports that a staggering 72% of couples who experience divorce have embarked on the journey marriage without fully comprehending the commitment that it demands. This data emphasizes the critical need for premarital counseling!

The average wedding budget ranges from $12,000 to $15,000, a substantial investment in a single day's celebration. On the other hand the average divorce costs $7,000, a financial and emotional strain on any family. Now consider allocating a fraction of your big day’s budget, 1-2% , to premarital counseling. This proactive investment not only pales in comparison to the overall wedding expenses but serves as a safeguard against the potential emotional and financial pitfalls that could await those who are unprepared. 

In the realm of premarital counseling, our approach is not just about addressing current issues but creating a safe space for couples to dive into necessary, and challenging, conversations about the future. It's about engaging essential skills and establishing a framework for a lifetime of love. We find that premarital therapy is a transformative and beautifully proactive process, engaging couples in conversations that they might not have considered otherwise.

We hold a Christian worldview of marriage believing that it isn't just a societal construct; it's a sacred covenant modeled after Christ's unconditional and sacrificial love for us. It requires thoughtful preparation, commitment, and a willingness to invest not just in the wedding day but in the journey that follows.

By integrating a Christian perspective into premarital counseling, we align with the belief that marriage is a divine union, a commitment that goes beyond the planning of a wedding ceremony. It's about building a foundation rooted in faith, trust, and understanding, ensuring that couples enter marriage with eyes wide open and hearts fully prepared.

Essentially, premarital counseling is more than a checkbox on your wedding planning list; it's a transformative investment in your future. It's the key to unlocking the full potential of your marriage, steering it away from regret, resentment, and the heartbreak of divorce. So, as you plan your wedding, consider not just the day itself, but the sacred journey that follows, and invest wisely in premarital counseling – a foundation for a lifetime of love.
