FAQ - Couples:
1) I see that you offer “couples” counseling. What about marriage counseling?
Couples counseling is for any couple who’s experiencing difficulties in their relationship, whether they’re dating, engaged or married. Counseling is tailored to each couple’s unique situation.
2) I'm in a relationship, but we're not planning on getting married. Do you only help couples who want to be married?
Help is available for all couples who are hoping to have long-term relationships.
3) What if we just want pre-marital counseling?
Sure! Stages One and Two of the Marriage Planning & More program are designed for pre-marital counseling.
4) Do you offer Prepare-Enrich?
Yes. I often use the Prepare-Enrich assessment and workbook in Stage One.
5) Is Marriage Planning & More a class?
No. Marriage Planning & More is comprised of privately held sessions for each couple.
6) Can you guarantee that our relationship will improve?
Counseling is a way for you to gain important insight about yourself, your partner and your relationship. Through the process, you’ll discover different ways of connecting and relating to each other. Many couples experience reduced conflict and are able to deepen their love and respect for each other, but ultimately, it’s up to each of you to decide if, and how, to make changes in your relationship.
