Premarital Counseling

Christian Premarital Counseling: Save Your Marriage… before it begins!

Looking for premarital counseling to help you have a happy future together? Christian Pre-marriage counseling can be a powerful tool to help you have a great marriage. Let’s face it, with too high divorce rates, it can be scary taking that next step.

Getting relationship counseling before you’re married is a great way to head off issues before they begin and deal with problems that have already come up. One of the best ways to protect your upcoming marriage is to learn about marital myths and get on the same page about issues such as finances, children, romance & sex, extended family and managing career and life stress.

At Ephesians 5:25 Ministries, pre marriage counseling is fully customized to meet your needs. We will help by educating you and building your skills in the following topic areas:

  1. A Christ Centered Marriage
  2. A Biblical Husband
  3. A Biblical Wife
  4. Marriage Communication
  5. Emotional connection and time together
  6. Family of Origin Issues
  7. Managing Intense/Negative Emotions
  8. Marriage and Parenting
  9. Value conflicts
  10. Marriage and Money
  11. Marriage Sex
  12. Handling work and household responsibilities
  13. Dealing with in-laws
  14. Personal happiness and well-being
