You are in the wedding planning stages- planning the location, the venue, the vibe and the dress, photographer, honeymoon everything to make the day you have both dreamed of come true. And you have such love and excitement planning your lives together. One wedding essential necessary to make sure your marriage is headed for success is pre-marital counseling.
Getting married is exciting! Creating a love that lasts requires wisdom, skill, planning, and conscious ways to build trust and commitment.
Pre-marital counseling is a process offered to couples once the decision to marry is made. It can be for first time or re-marriages. In Designing Relationships, I believe that it offers the understanding, clarity and resources to build a strong foundation and vision that contribute to sustaining lasting happiness. I use an integrated approach interweaving best practices for wellness and relational health. I use combined resources including, the latest developments in neuroscience and stress management, research from the Gottman Institute for Making Marriage Last, 5Love Language’s from Gary Chapman and my own model for creating lives of purpose and joy.
Together we will:
1.Assess your strengths and challenges as a couple
2. Customize a plan that will address your most important concerns.
3. Create a conscious relationship vision for your future, interweaving your values, hopes and dreams for a life together you will love.
4.Gain confidence to understand differences and manage conflict.
5. Build the skill in communication to deepen and grow your connection.
6. Design a portfolio of resources that will support you in your future happiness.
Get your relationship on the right start. Build a foundation that will last a lifetime. You will beat the odds and become relationship masters!
Reflections:
