Premarital Counselling
The conversations you have now will shape the marriage you build. Start with clarity, not assumptions.
Before "I Do"
You're excited about your future together. You've talked about the big things—or at least you think you have. But have you really discussed how you'll handle money? What happens when your families clash? How you'll navigate conflict when the honeymoon phase ends?
Premarital counselling isn't about finding problems. It's about building a foundation strong enough to handle whatever life throws at you.
The Prepare/Enrich Program
We use the Prepare/Enrich assessment—one of the most researched premarital tools available, with over 40 years of research behind it. It's not a pass/fail test. It's a conversation starter.
Communication Styles
Understand how you each communicate and where your styles might clash.
Conflict Resolution
Learn healthy ways to disagree without damaging your relationship.
Financial Expectations
Get on the same page about money—one of the biggest sources of conflict.
Family & In-Laws
Navigate expectations from your families of origin.
Roles & Responsibilities
Align on who does what—before resentment builds.
Intimacy & Affection
Understand each other's needs for closeness and connection.
What to Expect
Online Assessment
Each of you completes the Prepare/Enrich questionnaire separately (about 30-45 minutes each).
Feedback Sessions (4-6 sessions)
We review your results together, exploring your strengths and growth areas in depth.
Skill Building
Learn practical skills for communication, conflict resolution, and building connection.
Personalized Roadmap
Leave with a clear plan for continued growth as a couple.
