Starting Premarital counseling

What is premarital counseling?

Premarital counseling is a type of therapy that helps couples prepare for and build a happy, successful marriage. Premarital therapists at Thriveworks in Midlothian, VA can help couples develop essential communication skills, identify potential conflict areas, and learn how to manage their specific relationship issues.

How does premarital counseling work?

When you and your partner begin premarital counseling, your counselor will want to get to know you both as well as your relationship. In order to accomplish this, they will ask questions around the following:

  • Common interests and activities
  • Marital expectations
  • Budget and Finance
  • Children and parenting
  • Intimacy

If there is a particular area that they feel needs to be explored further (for example, you note that you and your partner have very different spending habits and views on money), they’ll guide the conversation in the given direction.

Is premarital counseling conducted in person or online?

Premarital counseling at Thriveworks is conducted both in person and through Online therapy. We encourage you to choose the option that works best for you and your partner.

How long does premarital counseling last?

Generally speaking, Thriveworks premarital counseling in Midlothian typically lasts for 8-10 weeks. This, however, can vary depending on the counselor’s approach as well as the clients’ preferences and needs. For example, some couples might request additional sessions to work through problem areas that they’ve identified in their relationship pre-wedding.

Can My Relationship Benefit from Premarital Counseling? How?

Premarital counseling can help couples in a variety of ways. First and foremost, it helps couples who have decided to tie the knot to best prepare for marriage. That said, it can also help couples who are considering the possibility of marriage in the future. Here are a few benefits of premarital counseling that you and your partner can look forward to:

  1. Conflict resolution: It’s easy to get frustrated with the ones we love, especially when important topics like money, parenting, and sex are on the table. A premarital counselor can help you and your partner to prepare for conversations about these hot topics. Learning effective conflict-resolution skills can prevent these conversations from escalating into greater conflicts.
  2. Talking about your future: If you and your partner are preparing for marriage or talking about the possibility, it’s important that you’re on the same page in terms of where you want your relationship to be two or three years down the road. Do you two agree on what you want your future to look like? Do you want kids? Are you staying put in your hometown? A premarital counselor can guide these important conversations.
  3. Starting a clean slate: It’s important for you and your partner to work through the problems that arise in your relationship without carrying resentment toward each other. A premarital counselor can help you let go of any resentments you might be carrying around with you before you marry.
  4. Working through fears and concerns: Many people have reservations about marriage. They harbor fears or concerns about it, due to their parents or other family members divorcing. If you or your partner are struggling with these fears and concerns, a premarital counselor can help you work through them and decide if marriage is right for you.

Premarital counseling at Thriveworks Midlothian aims to help couples build the very best foundation for marriage and forever together. These counselors are experts on accomplishing this very mission, and they want to help you, just as they have many other couples.
