As you anticipate your big day and share your dreams for the future, this is an exciting and busy time.  Engaged couples often wonder whether premarital counseling is really necessary or helpful.   Why not think of it as a wonderful opportunity to learn how to keep the romance alive for a lifetime?

For over 15 years I've helped couples learn to build and sustain a strong, honest, mutually sustaining marriage.  Our work together is specifically tailored to your needs.  Together we agree on goals and, creating a warm, supportive atmosphere, I work actively to help you reach them.   
Even the happiest couples experience stress and conflict, and with half of all marriages ending in divorce, it's essential to learn how to deal with these constructively as you prepare for the wedding and in the years to come.  Today's couples -- with partners managing two careers, often while raising children -- face unique challenges.  You're busy people with interesting lives, and as you seek to join together for a lifetime you need the skills to maintain an intimate, mutually nurturing relationship. 

Now is the time to be sure you're on the right track.  In premarital counseling you can learn how to carve out space for each other in the midst of your busy week. You can learn effective ways to communicate and manage conflict.  You can gain a better idea of how your family of origin has taught you about marriage -- and explore how to bring your own creativity to your relationship.  You can learn positive approaches to religious or cultural differences.  You can talk about important goals for yourselves and your marriage.  Most of all, you can learn to build on your strengths and work as a team to nurture a relationship that will, in turn, nurture the two of you. As you choose a premarital counselor, it's important to find someone who helps you feel comfortable.  I work with many people who seek to bring their analytical skills and creativity to the art of building a life together.  People tell me our time together is meaningful and special.  Please visit my website to learn more.
