Premartial Counseling in Marietta, Ga

Premarital Counseling covers a wide variety of topics such as communication, conflict resolution, sexual expectations, relationship roles and expectations, children & parenting, personality and goals in your relationship. Plus, oftentimes your therapist will also cover topics unique to you. It is a process that really is tailored to each couple that comes through the door.

Starting off your marriage with intentional and clear conversations around your future can provide a strong foundation to a lasting relationship. Miscommunication or lack of clarity can lead to conflict and discouragement later in your marriage if the important topics aren’t discussed. Oftentimes couples also don’t know when to seek help and wait way too long to enter counseling. By starting in premarital counseling you are getting ahead of future issues that arise and even creating a relationship with a counselor so you can return to counseling much more easily if needed in the future.

Your premarital counselor may use the Prepare Enrich Assessment for your work together. This involves an assessment that each partner completes which gives you a report on your relationship. This report is not pass or fail but gives you strength and growth areas of your relationship to help provide a road map for your work in counseling. Prepare Enrich also supplies a workbook of worksheets each couple can work on and discuss in counseling together. To learn more information please visit: https://app.prepare-enrich.com/.

Depending on your counselor the rate is $150-$200 per session. Ask your counselor about Premarital Intensives. Couples are so busy with life and wedding planning that an intensive is a great way to get most, if not all, premarital sessions in one go. They can either be scheduled during the week or on a weekend for 6-8 hours of counseling to address all areas of premarital counseling. Usually these are charged at once with your counselors hourly rate.
