PREMARITAL COUNSELING
Empowering Couples In Kansas, Missouri, and Georgia.
To those who are engaged or newly married, the idea of counseling may seem unnecessary. You are, after all, in a state of bliss, and isn’t counseling only for unhappy couples on the verge of a breakup?? (the answer to that question is “no”).
Here’s the thing - marriage is hard. Living the rest of your life with this person takes a tremendous amount of work and commitment. Believe it or not, love does not actually conquer all.
You will have times where you disagree.
You will have times that you question your decision to spend the rest of your life with this person.
You will have time where love does not equal liking.
THIS IS ALL NORMAL and can be an opportunity to grow and strengthen your relationship IF you have the tools!
The best time to grab those tools and learn how to use them? BEFORE you need them. Crisis time is not when you want to find out that you are reaching into an empty toolbox. That’s where my premarital counseling package comes in. Using techniques grounded in The Gottman Method and Emotionally Focused Therapy, we go beyond personality tests and surface level communication skills, and dig into evidence-based models for making relationships thrive for the long haul.
As you’re planning your big day — the flowers, the food, the dress — don’t forget to plan for the happily ever after!
