Premarital counseling that discusses wedding planning? Yes! Finally, you can learn about your marriage through what is happening with the wedding.
The individual couple program is an 85 minute DVD presenting principles, advice, and stories to help engaged couples and their parents with couple and family relationships in wedding planning. The DVD is a presentation by Bill Doherty, a nationally recognized marriage therapist, award winning teacher, and co-founder of The First Dance.
