Richmond Premarital Counseling is Here for You

With nearly half of all marriages ending in divorce, premarital counseling should be sought out when couples are considering getting married (in fact, some states require premarital counseling for people under 18 years of age).

If you live in the Richmond area and are considering marriage, Richmond premarital counseling can help.

In Richmond premarital counseling, couples will learn how to develop the skills to communicate in marriage, identify potential conflict areas, and learn how to navigate their way through difficult questions.

When should a couple seek Richmond premarital counseling?

Premarital counseling is normally sought out “pre-marriage” but it is also necessary and useful for those contemplating marriage. Premarital counseling can be beneficial for those not sure of the next step, and can also help those that are engaged and are preparing for marriage.

Premarital counseling can help a person in a relationship who is “non-committal” learn what barriers they may have, counseling can help a couple resolve issues they cannot seem to get past, or premarital counseling can help educate couples on marriage.

Just because you do premarital counseling does not mean “you are getting married”. In fact, sometimes couples go through premarital counseling, and find it best that they do not pursue marriage, and they both go on to separately live happy and healthy lives.

Richmond premarital counseling is also for those who have gotten engaged and are ready to tie the knot

The benefit of premarital counseling is endless; research has shown the premarital counseling can reduce divorce rates and the pre-marriage jitters.
