Premarital Counseling in Miami, Florida, Virginia,Washington DC, and California

Often times couples have unspoken expectations for their partners that they aren’t even always aware of. We are influenced by the way our parents and other important adults in our lives modeled what relationships look like and we pick up on those things.

Sometimes we decide we don’t want our relationship to look like that and other times it is exactly what we want.

Premarital counseling helps by asking the questions that we don’t think to ask to open up space for dialogue about things that we may be expecting without even realizing it.

What are the benefits of premarital counseling?

Premarital counseling is designed to give you tools to help you communicate differences, navigate challenges in your relationship as they come up and look at ways to build deeper connection with your fiancée for a lifetime. 

In premarital counseling in Miami, FL, Virgina, and California, I work with couples to look at your families of origin and talk about the things you want to bring into your marriage and the things you don’t want to integrate into your family.

We look at other areas for potential conflict in relationships such as:

  • finances

  • children

  • sex

  • roles

  • work

  • beliefs/values

  • expectations of each other

I work with each couple to customize our focus on the areas that we identify as needing the most attention.

As we work together I may assign homework and activities for you to do outside of our sessions to build upon the tools learned in session or to build deeper connections.

Premarital Counseling can help you:

  • Prevent future disagreements

  • Communicate effectively with your partner

  • Be honest with each other

  • Feel supported and understood

  • Identify your needs and your partners needs

Nurture your relationship now, and reap the benefits for a lifetime.
