Firm Foundations Marriage & Family Therapy
Premarital Therapy
You have dreamed about this moment for years. . . the day you get married and start your “happily ever after.” You have spent hours and hours and dollars and dollars choosing the perfect place, the perfect dress and suit, the perfect food and songs. You may have even spent considerable time writing your own vows. For many people, their wedding day is one of the most meaningful and memorable days of their lives. Sometimes, in the joy of all the planning, it can be easy to lose perspective. The wedding is a day, the marriage. . . it’s a lifetime! You have put so much effort into the day. . . and you should. . . it is a grande occasion. Have you considered putting as much effort into planning the marriage?
How…
I help couples who are planning a wedding to plan a satisfying and lasting marriage too!
“If I get married, I want to be very married.”
— Audrey Hepburn
Let’s try a better approach together.
Starting out strong, with the keys to building a firm family foundation, will help you to avoid unnecessary conflicts, strengthen trust, communicate more effectively, increase your intimacy, build a resilient friendship, and create the marital relationship you desire! Don't just invest all your time and resources in your wedding day. . . invest in establishing a lifetime of love together!
I don’t use just one cookie-cutter program to provide premarital therapy, but I create a program specific to your timeline, your needs, and your goals. Most couples come for 5 - 10 sessions to create a plan and vision for their marriage, evaluate the strengths and growth areas of their relationship, build skills and resources to bolster their resilience when stress or conflict occurs, and consider life after their wedding day.
Your wedding day should be a beautiful reflection of the two lives you have forever intertwined in joy and love. Your marriage should be too!
