What are Premarital Sessions Meant to Do?
A glass can only spill what it contains. A good marriage only has what people put into it. There is a lot of time, energy, and money is put toward a wedding day. However, the wedding day itself is little indication of whether or not it will be a good marriage.
These sessions are designed to be behind the scenes preparation for a good marriage. Through guided conversations, we will talk through understanding ourselves, our spouse, modes of communication, stages of conflict, how to notice when the other needs connection, active listening, and more.
All of this can be seen as gaining skills and tools for the first day after the wedding, which we all know is where the real work and the real joy are to be found.
