Premarital Counseling

A lot of thought and planning goes into the wedding, but what about the marriage? Start early. Get your relationship off to a healthy beginning and keep it healthy with premarital counseling.

For your happily ever after.

Invest in your future with premarital counseling, because the wedding is one day, but your marriage is forever.

The average couple waits 6 years before getting help for problems

Half of all marriages end in the first seven years

This means that the average couple is unhappy far too long

Learn the skills to master your relationship. We can help improve your ability to communicate through conflict, and deepen intimacy and your connection with your partner. The Relationship Center is a certified facilitator of the Prepare/Enrich Premarital Curriculum – the global standard in premarital counseling.
