Premarital Counseling

It is a well known fact that the divorce rate in the United States averages 50%. That is one out of every two couples! However, you can beat those odds. It is possible to not only have a long-lasting marriage, but a happy marriage as well. It is key for both spouses to be 100% committed to each other and the marriage itself.

Premarital counseling is a proven way to help ensure that you have the tools to create a happy and long-lasting marriage. It provides a forum in which to discuss important issues, such as finances, parenting, and intimacy. Other topics to talk about include in-laws, chores, vacations, and friends. Premarital counseling also teaches couples important communication and conflict resolution skills.

Rebecca offers a special premarital counseling package, which includes a minimum of four sessions and a free session six months after your wedding. The PREPARE Inventory is usually administered at the first session. This is a 165 question inventory that each partner takes separately. The scoring shows how matched your responses are to a variety of subscales, including communication, conflict resolution, finances, sex, parenting, and spirituality. This provides a wonderful baseline for discussions in future sessions.
