So, you’re engaged—congratulations! Amidst all the excitement, you’re probably getting bombarded with questions about wedding dates and planning details. But here’s a question that really matters: "Have you considered premarital counseling?"
The Real Deal on Premarital Counseling: While everyone’s busy telling you about the best wedding venues or the latest trends in wedding decor, premarital counseling rarely makes it to the conversation. Yet, it could be the most crucial step you take in preparation for married life.
Don't Just Take My Word for It: Hear it straight from the newlyweds who've been there. Madison B., a recent bride, shares her experience: "Minister Sharnise Sears is an amazing human, marriage coach, and officiant! She really got to know us during our pre-marital sessions, was always so easy to talk to, and our ceremony was absolutely PERFECT—tailored exactly to our wishes."
Sydney L., another happy bride, echoes this sentiment: "Initially, the price made me hesitant, but honestly, it was the best decision we could have ever made. Her heart and soul truly shine in what she does. My husband and I loved every minute of our pre-marital sessions." I love her honesty…Premarital is truly an investment!
Navigating Your Engagement with Ease: Before you dive into the whirlwind of wedding planning, take a moment with your partner to discuss your vision and expectations—not just for the wedding but for your marriage. Tools like the Season Journals for Marriage can help you capture these thoughts and plan cohesively.
The Benefits Extend Beyond the Wedding Day:
While the big day is a spectacular celebration, the real work of marriage starts after the last guest leaves. Premarital counseling is like your toolkit for married life. It arms you with essential skills for effective communication and conflict resolution, helping you and your partner navigate both the highs and lows of life together. This isn't just about making your wedding day seamless—it's about enriching your relationship for all the days that follow.

It’s more than just premarital counseling; it’s an opportunity to connect with other couples who are embarking on the same journey. Together, you can share insights and experiences and support each other in building strong, lasting marriages.
