Counseling is not just for people trying to cope with the problems in their life. With divorce so prevelant in today's society there are fewer couples to consult with or use as role models. Pre-marital counseling is one way to detemine if you are prepared for one of the biggest decisions in your life.
Counseling can help you recognize where your partner stands on a variety of topics, and where his or her priorities lie, which will confirm your sense of yourselves as a couple or if marriage is the right step for you. As a couple you need to discuss important topics such as religion, children, finances, habits, hobbies, and family issues among many others concerns.
Every marriage presents difficulties and obstacles. Open communication will be what helps you work through them. If you have difficulty talking through the issues in your lives, it is a good idea to learn how to do it while you're engaged.
There are many options when seeking premarital conseling. Your church pastor, community centers, colleges and universities offer marriage-building workshops. You can also look at the Marriage and Family Therapist website for your local resources at www.aamft.org.
Best wishes,
