Premarital Counseling
The time of engagement is an important time to prepare for your marriage. Besides meeting with me to plan your ceremony, you will also have the opportunity to participate in two sessions of pre-marital counseling before your wedding. These sessions will help you to gain a better understanding of yourselves as husband and wife and prepare you for your upcoming marriage.
The following areas (questions) will be addressed in your premarital counseling session:
* Communication
* Conflict Resolution
* Expectations in Marriage
* Personality Points
* Finances
* Sexual Expectations
* Children and Parenting
* Spirituality
* Roles in Marriage
* Leisure Activities
Premarital Counseling is not required but is highly recommended.
Instructions on filling out the questions on the following pages:
1) Bride and groom are each to answer the questions separately in writing without discussing your answer with your partner.
2) Send a copy of your answers to me before your first premarital counseling session. (You will discuss your answers during your sessions. Be sure to keep a copy for you and your partner.)
Instructions on preparing for the premarital counseling sessions:
1) Once both of you have finished your own answers, share your answers with one another.
2) Note:
Questions which you and your partner answered differently from each other.
Any patterns that you observe.
Any time your partner’s answer surprised you.
Any concerns you have about your partner’s answers.
You will be encouraged to talk about these issues during your premarital counseling sessions.
Please let me know if you have any questions or if you think of any other way I can assist you to prepare for your marriage.
Sincerely,
Dr. Julia M. Presley
