What is the purpose of Premarital Counseling?

Premarital counseling can be likened to an athlete working with a coach. Just as an athlete seeks the guidance of a coach to improve their performance and reach their full potential in preparation for competition, couples engage in premarital counseling to enhance their relationship skills in preparation for a successful marriage together.

Like an athlete who works with a coach over a period of time to refine their technique, couples work with premarital counselors over a period of weeks to develop effective communication, conflict resolution, and problem-solving skills, while also gaining other valuable knowledge that will help them through the years.

Simply put, just like a coach working with an athlete, premarital counseling focuses on bringing out the best in the couple, while fostering trust, understanding, and a sense of partnership, all key elements for a successful marriage.
