Premarital Counseling

It is a documented fact that couples who receive some form of pre-marital counseling have lower divorce rates than couples who fail to fully explore complex relationship issues prior to their weddings. Doreen Van Leeuwen has been offering pre-marital counseling for 20 years. Much of this counseling is aimed at helping couples think about and discuss their opinions and feelings about the following issues:

  • Life Style Expectations
  • Friends and Family Support
  • Personality Match
  • Personal Issues and Habits
  • Communication Skills Problem Solving
  • Religion and Values
  • Parenting Goals
  • Extending Family Dynamics
  • Sexuality
  • Finances
  • Readiness for Commitment
  • Career Goals and Values
  • Cohabiting
  • Remarriage

Packages of sessions can be negotiated for a contracted rate. Doreen will also facilitate a group of couples, and this can be a cost-effective way of protecting your investment into your marriage. If you and several pairs of your friends would like to set up a series of pre-marital groups or classes, contact our office to discuss details with Doreen.
