Prepare For Marriage
One study shows that couples can improve their chances of staying married by 30%
or more in the first years of marriage by taking this important step. Pre-marriage
counseling makes sense! A timeless gift to give someone you love.
Our Pre-marriage Counseling process:
- You contact us at no obligation and, after explaining the process, we will send
you and your fiancé two separate profiles to fill out in the comfort of your home
or apartment. These will take about 45 minutes to complete. - Once we have PREPARE (by Life Innovations) and the Keirsey Personality Inventory
scored and assembled, we will contact you to set up an appointment(s). - We meet to provide you with practical comments, feedback and instruction, specific
to the answers you have provided - information you can use to gain confidence and
clarity as you plan for this life-changing event together.
What does it cost?
- The cost of the 3 hour package with a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist that
includes preparation, PREPARE and Keirsey Personality Inventory review, and coaching
in communication, maintaining a healthy relationship, intimacy and problem solving
is $255. Scoring for PREPARE is an additional $29.95 (paid online).
Some facts engaged couples need to know:
- Pre-marriage coaching or counseling can improve a couple’s chances for success in
marriage by as much as 30% according to one study. - Living together is no guarantee couples can be married to each other.
- The inability to work through conflict is the biggest reason couples divorce.
