Many divorces occur partly because couples are not prepared for marriage.  Frequently, couples spend more time preparing for the wedding ceremony than for their marriage relationship.  After the wedding, considerable adjustment occurs when you have to give up your single life and begin the work of co-existing within the marriage.  Couples who spend time prior to the wedding examining their relationship and learning ways to communicate and work through challenges often have a greater success and sense of satisfaction together.

You begin by taking a couple inventory to identify your strengths as a couple.  The Inventory assesses your relationship strengths and growth areas in categories such as:

     Communication, Conflict Resolution, Personality Issues, Financial Management, Spiritual Beliefs, Children and Parenting, Sexual Expectations, Role Relationship, Family-of-Origin issues and Leisure Activities.

We then meet for 3 to 6 feedback sessions.  During our time together I will help you develop skills such as active listening and giving feedback to enhance your ability to communicate.  I provide you with a Ten Stop Model to help you resolve disagreements.  We also work to develop a budget and financial plan and identify your personal, couple and family goals.
