Congratulations on your engagement! This is one of the most exciting times in your life. You're meticulously planning every detail of your Houston wedding—the venue, the guest list, the music—to create a perfect day. But amidst all the planning, the most important preparation you can do is for the journey that begins after you say "I do."
You're investing in a beautiful celebration. Now is the time to make the most important investment of all: in your relationship.

Reconnect and Rebuild Your Relationship
What is Premarital Counseling? (Why It’s Not What You Think)
Many couples think counseling is only for when things go wrong. But premarital counseling is the opposite—it’s about getting things right from the start. It’s a proactive, positive step to build a strong foundation for a lasting, joyful partnership.
Think of it as creating a personalized roadmap for your future. It’s a dedicated space for the two of you to connect, celebrate your strengths, and gain the skills you need to navigate life’s challenges as a team.
How Our Premarital Program Works
Our process is simple, insightful, and designed to fit into your busy wedding-planning schedule.
- Step 1: The Online Assessment You and your partner will each take a private online assessment. The questions cover crucial topics like communication, conflict resolution, financial management, family dynamics, intimacy, and personal goals.
- Step 2: Your Personalized Report Once you’re done, I will receive a comprehensive report that visualizes your relationship's strengths and outlines your specific growth areas. This report is our guide for our sessions together.
- Step 3: Our Private Sessions We will meet for a series of sessions (typically 4-6) to explore your results. In a safe, supportive, and confidential environment, I will guide you through exercises and conversations that turn insight into practical skills you can use for the rest of your lives.
The Skills You'll Build for a Lifetime of Love
By completing our premarital counseling program, you will walk away with a toolbox filled with skills and a deeper connection. Together, we will:
- Master Healthy Communication: Learn how to truly listen and be heard, even when you disagree.
