Premarital Counselling: A Marriage Preparation Course
Why premarital counselling?
Premarital counselling is beneficial to all couples who are planning or even considering a long-term commitment such as marriage. The goal of premarital counseling is to identify and address any potential areas of conflict in a relationship early on, before those issues become prominent concerns later down the line. Preparing for marriage will also help teach partners effective strategies for discussing and resolving conflicts.
How can premarital counselling help?
We can help couples thinking of taking the next step in their relationship. A qualified BABCP-accredited cognitive-behavioural relationship therapist will work with you in a perfect environment, and discuss issues around:
How your differences can be a strength
Improving communication skills
What conflicts could occur and how to prevent / resolve
Recognising and meeting each other's emotional needs
How intimacy with one another can grow over time
The steps to take in having a healthy argument
How to keep the romance alive for years
If you feel like you have trouble discussing any of these issues, it might suggest to you that sitting down with a premarital counselor could be helpful. Don’t hesitate to start off on in the right direction as you begin your marriage to last a lifetime.
Each relationship has certain needs and different issues to discuss, which is why each pre-marital preparation course is moulded for the couple.

“I am so glad for the valuable time we spent with our facilitator before our wedding.
When starting out the sessions, I only saw it as a mandatory requirement to get out of the way, but I was proven wrong every time we met with him. My partner and I learnt important things about our communication and relationships that we could not have even seen, let alone changed, without the help of these sessions.
The Relationship Enrichment Programme has taught us how to learn from each other and develop through the challenge, and bliss, of the future. Without the help of the programme, we now know about some of the problems that we might have encountered in the future and we now have the confidence to deal with them.
Our relationship is growing stronger every day and I can thank our facilitator for helping us achieve that.”
“Doing the course had brought us closer together as a couple. We would (and already have) highly recommend it to anyone about to, or recently, married!”
