Premarital Counseling
Premarital Counseling
Before two people commit to a lifetime together, it’s vital to invest not just in the wedding day, but in building a strong, God-centered marriage. Our premarital counseling consists of three focused sessions designed to help couples lay a solid foundation.
In Lesson 1: Spiritual Foundation & Purpose, couples explore where they stand in their walk with God, spiritual compatibility, and how their relationship fits into God’s plan.
In Lesson 2: Practical Life Alignment, we guide couples through real-life planning: finances, career goals, living arrangements, family planning, and handling conflict.
In Lesson 3: Relational & Emotional Preparedness, couples learn about healthy communication, emotional needs, love and respect, forgiveness, and managing expectations for long-term success.
“It is not your love that sustains the marriage, but from now on, the marriage that sustains your love.”
— Dietrich Bonhoeffer, Letters and Papers from Prison
