Pre-Marital and Couples Counseling

Couples come to counseling for many reasons. 

• Are you discerning marriage?
• Are you engaged, looking for pre-marital counseling?
• Are you struggling to heal your marriage after infidelity?
• Are you feeling angry, lonely, depressed, or anxious in your relationship?
• Are you missing the connection you once had ... maybe struggling with a transition?
• Do you think your marriage is "pretty good" but still feel like something is missing?

Even couples with strong, committed marriages go through periods where they may begin to feel more like roommates than soulmates.  Marital counseling or couples therapy can help foster reconnection.  Certain period of stress can be especially challenging on marriages including:

• Adjusting to a new baby
• Moving
• Financial stress or career changes
• Infertility
• Serious illness
• Infidelity
• Loss of a child

Some of the challenges people bring to couples counseling include:

• Communication problems such as unproductive arguments, irritability, criticism, disrespect
• Feeling lonely, disconnected, or “drifting apart”
• Differences in parenting styles
• Intimacy challenges
• Step-parenting, co-parenting, or blended family difficulties

Couples counseling can help you and your partner:

• Improve communication
• Increase trust and strengthen commitment
• Increase intimacy and connectedness
• Rekindle romance
• Identify and solve problems together
• Create a shared mission and vision for your relationship and family

We also provide pre-marital counseling from a Biblical perspective, if that is desired.
