Pre-Marriage Education
Over 25 years of marital research shows that there are common elements to a successful marriage. Marital satisfaction is, to a large degree, enhanced or depleted by understanding those elements. Given that one in two marriages fail, pre-marriage counselling can provide couples with a secure base in which to begin, nurture, and sustain their relationship. Couples will learn to apply relationship enhancing behaviours, as well as learn about the common pitfalls that affect many marriages.
