PRE-MARITAL COUNSELING
Building a Foundation for Forever.
Embarking on the journey towards a lifelong partnership is a joyous and exciting chapter filled with dreams and promises. However, the period of engagement, despite all its excitement, introduces new stressors and tasks as two lives merge into one. I understand that preparing for a wedding is not just about planning the perfect day; it's about navigating the complexities of merging dreams, discussing future plans, and managing not only personal expectations but also those of family and friends.
Merging lives involves moving beyond dreamy wonderings to practical considerations, such as differences in preferences, identifying roles, and tackling everyday tasks. Whether it's major decision-making or deciding who takes care of household chores, these discussions are crucial before conflicts arise. Each partner brings unique histories, family cultures, strengths, and weaknesses into the relationship, accompanied by unspoken assumptions that can impact various aspects of married life.
Premarital counseling at InTune Therapy focuses on the intricate dynamics within a marriage. Beyond discussing critical issues like roles in marriage, parenting, money management, etc... I emphasize the importance on how these discussions are managed. Balancing the art of asking for what you need while prioritizing your partner's needs is fundamental to a healthy marriage. Learning to navigate these conversations equips couples with essential skills to face any challenge the future may bring.
I work with you to identify potential areas of concern and transform them into opportunities for practicing vital communication and conflict resolution skills. By delving into these relational inter-dynamics and emotional literacy, our premarital counseling aims not only to address immediate concerns but also to establish a foundation for a resilient and thriving marriage. Join me on the journey from engagement to marriage, ensuring a strong foundation as you start your life together.
