Premarital Counseling Options
Option 1: Weekend Day Retreat – Prepare Enrich Group Program
The Weekend Day Retreat is a great option for couples who’d like to prepare for marriage in a relaxed environment. The Prepare Enrich Group Program focuses on:
- Helping couples celebrate their strengths and identify their growth areas.
- Encouraging couples to dialogue about their relationship in meaningful and productive ways.
- Increase practical relationship skills in Communication, Conflict Resolution, Closeness, Flexibility, and Financial Management.
- Increase understanding of relationship issues in such areas as Personality, Affection & Sex, and Family of Origin.
The group program offers a mix between marriage education – where we are together as a group and intimate conversations – where you and your partner have alone time to engage in structured exercises.
The Retreat is typically held on a Saturday and is offered 3 times a year.
