Premarital Counseling

Is the success of your wedding worth the cost of your cake? Most couples spend at least six months preparing for their wedding, but how much time do they take preparing for their marriage? Every couple thinks their marriage will endure — it's in the vows ("till death do us part"), but half of them are wrong according to the divorce rate.

Life Innovations' Prepare-Enrich program offers couples the opprotunity to build the skills they will need to last until death parts them. By finding a certified counselor to work with, couples can come closer as they learn skills that will enhance their relationship. Each partner is sent a 165 question inventory that they take separately. Life Innovations then sends the counselor about twenty pages of charts and graphs so that the sessions can be personalized. The sessions cover such topics as communication, conflict resolution, money management, stress profiles, family of origin, personality traits, and raising children. The sessions are enjoyable as each partner learns more about the other and his- or herself.

A wedding is about one day while a marriage is about a lifetime. Couples shouldn't assume that thier marriage will last with beauty, fidelity and love. Invest in your relationship with marriage preparation sessions. Go to www.prepare-enrich.com for more information and to find a counselor near you.
