Premarital counseling is important to help a couple thrive and to think ahead to some very common hurdles. I have a series of handouts that you can take with you to discuss and process outside of the therapy office.
Some areas I like to cover are communication styles and ways to improve open dialogue, your families and how they effect the couple, financial strategies and ways to manage money, sexual expectations and skills, as well as ways to increase emotional and sexual intimacy.
I have used these tools with couples that have been married for many years and they have said they wish they had the skills and information when they first got married.
