What is Premarital Counselling?

The classic tale The Three Little Pigs is well known to all of us. It shares simple truths about the things that last. They need to be built “of the right stuff.” They are hard to make. And they take time. While relationships and housebuilding are not completely similar, they do share some resemblances. The difference between a relationship that lasts and one that fails is an intentional focus on your relational foundation. That is where premarital counselling comes in.

Regardless of if you are already living together or not, marriage is a huge transition. It is the time when “mine” becomes “ours” and where, ideally, a temporary commitment becomes a life-long one. There are many aspects of the relationship that we do not usually talk about with our partners before marriage but are essential to a better future together. What are financial goals? How do you involve in-laws in major life decisions? Are you planning on having children? How will you raise them?
