Wisconsin Premarital Counseling

Join other First Dance couples who tell us they had less stress in the months leading up to their wedding, more ability to handle the pressures, and a clearer perspective on what was going on around them. Our telephone coaching sessions, book, DVD, Couple Checkup Inventory, and online chat room give you a variety of ways to get the advice you need.

We have a growing list of marriage educators and religious organizations using the group version of our program. The group version is by far the best way to experience what we have to offer because you share it with your peers who going through similar stresses (and joys!).

If you are part of a religious organization or participate in premarital education, let your educator or leader know about The First dance so they can add us to their offerings. The following list does not represent all the organizations that have our DVD, just those who expressly asked to be listed on this website.
