premarital counseling

At long last you have found the person of your dreams, you are deeply in love, and you have set the date for a wedding. What a strange time to be thinking about seeing a therapist! Aren’t therapists the ones you turn to when your heart has been broken and it seems like your life is falling apart? And yet, many churches and wedding officiants now require a certain number of sessions with a marriage counselor before they will proceed with carrying out a wedding. The idea has been established that seeing a therapist prior to a marriage can bestow some sort of due diligence or guarantee that the relationship will work out better than it would have otherwise. Maybe it will put the brakes on a shaky plan that never should have developed into a marriage proposal.
