Together Forever Pre-marital Counseling

I know planning a wedding can be busy. It’s an important day! The day you marry the love of your life.

More important than the wedding itself is the day after your ceremony, the first day of the rest of your life together. It’s easy to fall into a “busy-ness trap” and spend more time planning your wedding than your marriage.  

I want to let you know about Together Forever Counseling.

Setting a foundation for a strong marriage means long-term success as a couple. Consciously creating a solid foundation leads to loving, life-long relationships. Studies have shown that couples who participate in premarital counseling are 31% less likely to divorce. However, being married isn’t a contest to see who can be married the longest. The quality of your marriage and your life are what’s essential.

Research done for CSU’s College of Health and Human Services found that premarital counseling is associated with lower divorce rates, lower relationship conflict, and higher quality in a relationship. Research also shows that those who attend premarital counseling are better off than 80% of couples who decide against counseling. 

What happens in Together Forever Counseling? 

You get to know yourself and each other deeper, improve communication skills, nurture your intimacy, work at differences, adjust expectations, and learn how to handle soon-to-be joint finances.

I believe our life partners are here to facilitate self-discovery and spiritual growth. This is a focus of Together Forever Counseling. 

Taking these steps to strengthen your relationship before your marriage, rather than waiting until later, is wise. Your commitment to healing and growing individually and as a couple will make for a strong, life-long relationship!

I would be honored to consult with you both. As an ordained minister, pastoral counselor, and coach with over twenty years of experience, I believe together, we can improve communication, resolve conflicts, and lovingly build trust. Resulting in a long and fulfilling marriage. 

Here’s what’s included:

Five One-Hour Sessions with Rev. Kelly over Zoom.

You receive a series of questions on various topics to review individually before each session. The questions are designed to prompt you “How well do I know myself?” or “I had not thought about that before.”

We take at least two weeks between each session.

I know planning a wedding can be stressful, and I don’t want to add to the stress! These sessions do not need to be completed before your ceremony. We do ask they be completed within a year of starting.

Is one of our team officiating your wedding? There is a discount. And monthly payments are available too.

With love,

Rev Kelly
