Premarital Counseling is a unique branch of couples counseling that provides strategies, skills, and interventions for couples prior to getting married. The engaged couple meets with a couple’s counselor to discuss any areas of disagreement or dissatisfaction in the relationship so that the couple can work through these issues with the guidance and help from the therapist who specializes in treating couples. Premarital counseling is believed to serve as a valuable method to prevent marital problems in the future or even separation or divorce. Among certain religions, premarital counseling is required prior to the date of marriage if the couple decides to be married within particular religious denominations.
