Make a good thing even better with Premarital Counseling.
You might be wondering, “We’re doing great—why would we need premarital counseling?”
That’s a completely valid question, and it’s one I hear often from couples who feel close, connected, and genuinely happy together.
Let’s consider a familiar scenario:
Most of the time, your relationship feels solid. Daily life flows smoothly, you enjoy being together, and you feel grateful for the connection you share. There’s just one recurring disagreement — it doesn’t happen often, and it doesn’t feel big enough to cause worry, so you both table it for later.
But when that same conversation comes up, something shifts.
You suddenly feel unheard or misunderstood. You feel less connected, even though every other part of your relationship feels wonderful. It’s confusing — because nothing else feels wrong.
This is exactly where premarital counseling can make a meaningful difference: not because your relationship is “in trouble,” but because even strong couples have blind spots, repeating patterns, or tender topics that benefit from clarity and support.
What if avoiding it — or only talking about it when you’re already overwhelmed — quietly made the disconnection bigger?
Suddenly it’s no longer a once-in-a-while frustration.
It’s showing up every week.
And each time, it feels heavier.
You try to talk about it, but you end up in the same loop:
You’re both exhausted.
You don’t feel heard.
You can’t understand why you’re stuck.
You walk away feeling disconnected from someone you love deeply.
Over time, you may even find yourself wondering:
“Can we fix this? Can we get that closeness back?”
Here’s the truth: you’re not alone. Most couples have moments where a small issue grows simply because they didn’t have the tools to navigate it early on.
Without those tools, these conversations can feel intimidating or confusing — even if the relationship is strong in every other way.
Premarital counseling gives you the skills to stop that drift before it becomes a pattern.
It helps you reconnect, feel understood, and stay on the same team again.
And I’d be honored to help you find those tools together.
Now imagine this instead…
Things are still great between you and your partner. You feel happy, in love, and deeply connected. Then that tough conversation comes up — and this time, you both feel confident you can handle it.
There’s no shutting down.
No spiraling into anger.
No growing quiet or pulling away.
Instead, you both:
Stay calm
Share what’s bothering you
Listen with curiosity
Feel heard, not judged
Repair and reconnect
And afterward?
You feel even closer than before.
You realize you can talk about anything — even the hard stuff — and still come out on the same team. You feel more certain than ever that this is the person you want to marry. You feel prepared. Connected. Loved. Life just feels good.
This is exactly what premarital counseling can help you build.
I help couples get there using an attachment-based approach and optional premarital assessments (like SYMBIS or Prepare/Enrich). Whether online or in person, you’ll learn the tools to stay connected through even the toughest conversations — not just now, but throughout your marriage.
-
Absolutely not. Assessments are optional and available only if you want to use them. Our talk-therapy sessions on their own can address your growth areas, support communication, and help you build the tools you need to strengthen your relationship.
-
I am certified in both SYMBIS (Saving Your Marriage Before It Starts) and Prepare/Enrich. SYMBIS tends to fit couples who prefer a more faith-based focus, while Prepare/Enrich works well for any couple. I don’t have a preference — we choose the option that best matches your needs.
-
Premarital assessments highlight both strengths and potential growth areas in your relationship. They’re especially helpful for couples who feel strong overall but want to make sure they’re not overlooking anything.
The benefit is that these tools bring up important topics you might not naturally think to discuss before marriage — like sex, household responsibilities, money management, and debt — so you can start those conversations proactively. -
Yes. Whether you choose SYMBIS or Prepare/Enrich, the assessments cost $35 total, paid directly to the company that provides the tool.
-
Here’s the basic structure of my process:
Session 1: We get to know each other. I learn about your relationship history, strengths, pain points, and what brings you to therapy.
Sessions 2 & 3: I meet with each partner individually to understand personal history, family patterns, and how you learned (or didn’t learn) comfort, care, and connection while growing up.
Session 4 and onward: All three of us meet together. We explore the patterns that show up around tough conversations and build the tools you need to stay connected when challenges arise.
-
It depends on what you’re hoping to accomplish.
• Some couples simply want the assessment and a review, which typically takes a minimum of 2 sessions. This review focuses on the results, not deeper therapeutic work.
• Couples who want to understand their patterns, improve communication, and learn to stay connected through hard conversations will discuss goals in Session 1 so we can determine a timeline that fits your needs. -
Yes. Many couples use premarital counseling to build skills proactively, deepen intimacy, and prepare intentionally for marriage.
-
Yes. Online premarital therapy Englewood CO is available for flexible scheduling.
-
Communication, conflict, finances, sex and intimacy, family patterns, expectations, and planning for long-term stability.
