Premarital Coaching: Why it Helps
When you were dating, you both got to know about your interests together and your attraction to each other. Before entering into the commitment of marriage, it is most important to have discussions, agreements, and promises about the important issues all couples face.
Every couple needs to address the basic issues at some point in their ongoing relationship. It is better to discuss these universal issues ahead of time, with cool heads and warm hearts, rather than in the heat of a disagreement. When you both have an understanding of the core issues, the small stuff of everyday life does not get in the way of your pursuit of happiness.
Premarital Coaching prepares you for married life by:
- Improving your communication skills
- Increasing your ability to resolve conflict
- Identifying strengths and growth areas
- Supporting you to discuss personal, couple, and family goals
In Premarital Coaching, you and your fiancé have the opportunity to discuss and development agreements about common concerns:
- Financial Goals and Budgets
- Children
- Sex
- Extended family
- Religion
“You were the first “religious teacher” whose words actually made sense to me. Your acceptance of my doubts, insecurities and fear helped me to stay on the path I wanted to walk. Your prayers over me in the midst of my depression touched me internally – and God’s love was real for me.”
—Nancy
