Premarital Counseling
Many churches and pastors do not just recommend premarital counseling, they require it. Why? The divorce rate in the church is too high. The pain of a broken marriage is horrendous and the cost of conflicted relationships is immense.
As we counsel married couples with communication and conflict resolution problems, we see a multitude of issues: financial stress, parenting problems, sexual dysfunction and extended family struggles. What do these couples have in common? They often received no premarital counseling.
Many married couples we see in counseling express regret that they did not receive counseling in preparation for marriage. Premarital counseling is for anyone getting married, regardless of age and number of times married. Safeguard your marriage by understanding God's design and your privileges and responsibilities in the union.
Some of the important topics Wellspring counselors discuss in premarital counseling are:
- God's purpose for marriage
- The role of the husband and wife
- Communication
- Conflict resolution
- Financial unity
- The sexual relationship
- Parenting
- Relationships with friends and family
When further counseling is necessary to deal with personal issues or deeper relationship problems, this can be arranged with your counselor.
