We provide a Christ-centered approach to pre-marital counseling and coaching. We use the PREPARE/ENRICH model to help couples who have decided to get married. It was posted on CNBC that the divorce rate is actually decreasing due to economic and behavior changes. When two people decide that they are going to do everything in their power to make their marriage work, they are agreeing to take a look at behaviors that are causing the marriage to go down south.
For this reason, pre-marital counseling or coaching is vital to any couple who is about to get married. Two words to remember AWARENESS and EXPECTATIONS. Individuals going into a marriage need to be aware and understand what the expectations will be for each role, husband and wife. Most want to be with the person they marry “until death do them part.” Our pre-martial counseling/coaching program includes:
