What a wonderful and exciting time! You are on a joyous adventure and it just makes sense to take the time to deepen your knowledge of one another and to strengthen your relational “muscles” as you partner together.
Pre-marital couples are invited to take the optional PREPARE, the premier nationally respected pre-marital assessment inventory (check out Prepare-Enrich.com). Both Brian and Judy are certified to give this inventory. The information gleaned from this questionnaire can become the focus for the counseling.
Common discussion items:
- Your relationship vision
- Your innate temperaments (Meyers-Briggs Temperament Analysis available)
- Developing open, clear and clean communication
- Healthy conflict management and resolution skills
- Family of origin influences on your partnership
- Expectations of marriage
- Children and parenting
- Emotional and sexual intimacy
- The business of a marriage (finances, stress/lifestyle management)
- Spirituality
The format for pre-engaged/pre-marital couples can be adapted to fit your needs. Most couples spend at least 6 hours spread out over a few months. You can meet for 1 hour at a time or for up to 3 hours per session depending on schedule availability (weekend multiple hour sessions can be arranged).
Counseling Fees: $125.00 per hour
OR a package of 6 hours for $600.
Inventories (optional)
The PREPARE Inventory: $29.95 (on-line) or $35.00 (paper/pencil).
Meyers-Briggs Temperament Inventory (MBTI): $ 50.00 (paper/pencil).
