Pre-Marriage counselling

Premarital counseling is a form of therapy or structured educational program designed to help couples prepare for marriage. It provides a supportive environment where partners can explore important topics, enhance their communication skills, and address potential challenges before committing to marriage. The primary goal of premarital counseling is to equip couples with the tools and insights necessary to build a strong, healthy, and lasting relationship.

“Premarital counseling helps couples create a blueprint for their lives together,” says Sabrina Romanoff, PsyD, a licensed psychologist who specializes in relationships

• Finances: Money can be a stressful and contentious issue for married couples, so deciding how to manage your finances in advance can help prevent problems down the road. 
• Beliefs, values, and religion: Sharing your beliefs, values, and religious sentiments with your partner can help foster better understanding and respect. You can also discuss the implications of these aspects on your daily life.
• Roles in the marriage: It’s important to discuss the roles you expect yourself and your partner to play in your marriage to prevent conflicts later on. 
• Activities and time spent together: You and your partner can discuss how you plan to spend time together and what activities you enjoy doing together.
• Children: Couples sometimes realize after getting married that they are not on the same page about whether or not they want to have children. Deciding in advance whether or not you want to have kids and how you want to raise them is important.
• Family relationships: Premarital counseling can offer you a chance to be honest about your relationships with your own family as well as any concerns you have about your partner’s family.
