YOU FELL IN LOVE…

YOU BOTH HAVE DECIDED TO COMMIT TO A LIFE TOGETHER

We want you to go one step further and commit to a conscious relationship. One that you co-create together. One that builds on your strengths and provides room for growth. Midtown Marriage and Family Therapy  offers premarital counseling for couples wishing to create a vision for their marriage.

Premarital Counseling is an excellent gift for engaged couples. In every tradition (religious, spiritual, cultural), there is an established mentorship in the process of getting married. For those that don’t have a spiritual affiliation, and are seeking a tradition based on preparation for an incredible life transition, this is the place to talk about your upcoming experience and new marriage.

CREATE A VISION FOR YOUR NEW LIFE TOGETHER

Looking at your relationship as you move toward a wedding date in these terms can be very helpful. You can begin to crate a vision for your new relationship, and a plan for your future family. It can also serve as a kind of “check-up” for marital health. Viewing your relationship within this structured and containing framework allows you and your partner to acknowledge areas of strength while mobilizing to address areas for growth.

SOLVE PROBLEMS NOW, BEFORE IT’S TOO LATE

What premarital counseling in general offers, is a way for couples to connect around deeper issues in the midst of wedding planning, which can sometimes seem very disconnecting! Or, at the very least, can be a busy period when shared reflective time can be in short supply. The four-six session package, which is ideally completed within six  weeks, allows couples to open up the dialogue about the most essential issues between them. Premarital counseling helps couples get a head start so that as married life unfolds their ability to address the inevitable challenges of married life is strengthened.

SOLVE A SPECIFIC ISSUE

Sometimes couples are stuck on differences with how they will handle finances, or how they will handle multiple religious influences. Sometimes, its in-laws and needed decisions around them, and sometimes its work-life balance and daycare/ back-to-work decisions that cause distress. Differences such as these need to be talked about and solved, prior to marriage, to ensure you are both on the same page and can move forward together.

COMMUNICATION STRUGGLES

Often times couples seek premarital counseling because they have a hard time communication and resolving issues and they need communication skills coaching so they can learn to hear one another, value each others perspective, and work toward solving conflicts.

HOW MANY SESSIONS DO WE NEED?

Do we have to attend 4-6 session? No, you attend however many sessions you need. Sometimes couples come in for 1 extended session and resolve what they are stuck in, and sometimes couples need a series of sessions. The program is designed for the specific needs you are bringing in.
